Press TV-�The Israeli regime has put pressure on Saudi Arabia to abduct Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in order to drag Hezbollah and Iran into a new�war, says a commentator.

�It looks as if Israel is now desperate to create a pretext for war with Iran,� E. Michael Jones told Press TV on Thursday.

The expert said Tel Aviv thinks�the kidnap "will serve as a pretext for the war that Israel wants to break up Hezbollah in Lebanon.�

The Saudis have always been��junior partners� in several Israeli-US operations in the Middle East, the editor of the Culture Wars online magazine noted.

Saudi Arabia has said it would�deem Lebanon as having declared�a war on the kingdom, because of its failure to stop what it calls�aggression by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
