Alwaght- Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri arrived in Paris on Saturday after being held in Saudi Arabia for over two weeks
Hariri was made to resign as Lebanese prime minister on Nov. 4 while in Saudi soil, plunging Lebanon into crisis.
The office of Saad Hariri said he has arrived in Paris with his wife, Lara al-Azm, from Riyadh without mentioning two of his children causing fears they may have been hold hostage by Saudi regime.
He will meet Macron at noon, after which he and his wife and eldest son will attend a lunch in his honor, the statement said.
Macron said on Friday he would welcome Hariri to Paris on Saturday as Lebanon’s prime minister and expected him to return to Beirut in the “coming days, weeks”.
President Michel Aoun has called Hariri a Saudi hostage and refused to accept his resignation unless he returns to Lebanon.
Saad al-Hariri has reportedly told Michel Aoun in a phone call he would be in Lebanon on Wednesday for Independence Day celebrations.
