BEIRUT—Lebanon’s Amal movement, a Shi'ite Muslim group allied to Hezbollah, said on Wednesday it would not be swayed by U.S. sanctions imposed on one of its members, saying Washington’s move was like targeting the whole nation.
The United States expanded sanctions related to Lebanon on Tuesday by blacklisting two former government ministers, including Amal’s Ali Hassan Khalil. It said the two men had aided Hezbollah, which Washington brands a terrorist group.
