Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc announced Tuesday that it is “awaiting the return” of resigned Prime Minister Saad Hariri from Riyadh to Lebanon, saying it has decided to hold continuous meetings to follow up on the current crisis.
“The bloc took note of PM Saad Hariri's meeting yesterday with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, as well as his meeting today with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, hoping Lebanon will overcome the current crisis,” said Mustaqbal in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.
“The bloc is awaiting PM Hariri's return and it has decided to hold continuous meetings,” it added.
Hariri's trip to the UAE comes after days of speculation in Lebanon that the resigned Premier is under house arrest in Saudi Arabia following his surprising resignation over the weekend.
