PM Hariri Surfaces In France!

Friends, can you imagine the uproar if the U.S. detained the President of Mexico? OMG!!!!!

After two weeks in Saudi Arabia that saw a surprise resignation and repeated reports he was being held against his will, Lebanese PM Saad Hariri left Saudi Arabia, and was in France visiting Macron.

Hariri has denied being held against his will, but had repeatedly been reported in the Saudi press to have left the country in the past two weeks, only to still be there. Others have reported the Saudis are keen to see Hariri replaced with his elder brother.

Hariri says his long stay in Saudi Arabia was because he needed time to discuss Lebanon’s future. The rest of Lebanon is waiting to see what this has resulted in, as many top officials are under the impression he was held against his will.

Even Hariri heading to Paris doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “free,” either, with reports that his travel to France is basically him heading into exile. France has denied this, but there are no details on when, or even if, he’d be leaving France for Lebanon.
