The Sudden Resignation Of Lebanon’s Prime Minister

VOX – November 17, 2017: The mysterious sudden resignation of Lebanon’s prime minister has sparked a political crisis that is escalating longstanding tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran — and raises the real prospect of open warfare between the two Middle Eastern powers.

The intrigue began on November 4, when Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri suddenly announced his resignation — but he did it by reading a statement on live television from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. That immediately fueled speculation in Lebanon that the Saudi government, which has deep, longstanding ties to Hariri, had forced him to resign against his will and was holding him under house arrest.

Lebanon FM Reveals Attempt to Intimidate Country Into Canceling Russian Gas Deal

SPUTNIKNEWS – November 17, 2017: Lebanese Foreign Minister Geral Bassil has held a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

“We are about to sign our first contract on gas field exploration on the shelf with participation of Russian companies. We now see an attempt to make Lebanon leave this positive path,” Geral Bassil said.

“A campaign to scare Lebanon, to create obstacles on its path with the use of terrorist forces under different pretexts is underway,” the minister added.

According the top official, “some sides” to the conflict are trying to displace the head of the country from his office.

“We hope that Russia will continue building up its influence in the Middle East in order to form a balance of powers in the region,” Bassil added.

“We are interested in Lebanon being safe and functioning effectively with the participation of all branches of power. And the most important thing, we support the resolution of all urgent issues by the Lebanese themselves without any external interference,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in his turn.

The Lebanese Crisis

Previously, Moscow has voiced concern over the shock resignation of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and urged all external forces that could influence the situation in Lebanon to show restraint and constructive approaches.

The Lebanon crisis emerged two week ago with former Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri announcing his resignation in a video address made from Saudi Arabia. The former minister expressed fears that he could be assassinated, like his father, in Lebanon, as well as accused Tehran and the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement of alleged attempts to destabilize the situation in the country and  the Middle East, a claim strongly denied by the Islamic Republic as groundless.
