While the Lebanese parties have been shocked by Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced his resignation, many said that there were Saudi signs that paved the way to this move.
In this regard, Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq was the first to mention what he called “a US-Gulf political and economic siege against Lebanon,” more than three months ago.

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea and Kataeb party chief Samy Gemayel were the most prominent visitors to Saudi Arabia recently.
