The surprising attack by Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil came after the visit made by Prime Minister Saad Hariri to Saudi Arabia and his meeting with Saudi leadership, and days before the visit of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Lebanon. What is the real backdrop of this attack?
According to sources close to Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Bassil’s position is not related to Saudi Arabia visit or the United States, recalling the positive meeting held between the two prior to Brussels conference and after his return from Saudi Arabia.
The sources insist on adopting the content of the news bulletin introduction of the Future TV, where they said that the only backdrop of Bassil’s position is an outbidding attempt, adding that they do not expect this issue to affect the work of the cabinet.
