Surprisingly there are several Arab countries, including the [Gulf Cooperation Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Cooperation_Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Cooperation_Council), and the UAE.

- TeaBrain 2y agoYou've misread the comments above. The above comments are all referencing Hezbollah, not Hamas.
- cholantesh 2y agoStill applies; the only outlier in the Hezbollah entry is Malaysia, who most likely are doing so on sectarian lines or to follow the KSA's lead.
- cholantesh 2y agoNot especially surprising, the GCC (of which the UAE is a member state) are Sunni petro-states that have been aligned with the US since the 50s. Hezbollah is a Shiite group who are patronized by Iran, who are the chief geopolitical rival of GCC countries and compete with them to sell fossil fuels on the international market.
