Saudi officials bitterly  criticized President Michel Aoun over his support for the Iranian backed Hezbollah militant group   during recent meetings in the kingdom with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and Phalange  Party chief MP Sami Gemayel, Lebanese  media reported  on  Tuesday .

“Geagea and Gemayel heard from the Saudis bitter criticism against Aoun during their visits,” sources close to Prime Minister Saad Hariri told al-Akhbar newspaper.

The sources quoted the Saudis as openly saying: “We did not want the president to join the March 14 camp, but we were hoping that he would become centrist, and that’s why we did not oppose his election.”

“He surprised us. He is acting as if he is linked ideologically to Hezbollah. He is formally claiming that he is at the same distance from everyone in order to facilitate his presidential tenure, but at heart and at the core he is totally linked to Hezbollah,” the Saudi officials reportedly stressed.

Prime Minister Saad Hariri  who is currently visiting Saudi Arabia  reportedly heard the same kind of criticism  from saudi officials .

Hariri reportedly met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the future king of the kingdom.

Following their meeting he said in a tweet :

“Whenever I meet His Highness, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) , I become more convinced that we and the Saudi leadership are in full agreement on Lebanon's stability and Arab identity,” said Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Tuesday during his trip to the kingdom

“Whenever I meet His Highness, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) , I become more convinced that we and the Saudi leadership are in full agreement on Lebanon’s stability and Arab identity. ”

Saudi Arabia’s official news agency said talks between the two leaders tackled “bilateral relations between the two countries and the regional developments.”

 Hariri  also said  Tuesday that he held a “long meeting” with  Saudi State Minister for Gulf Affairs Thamer al-Sabhan, a day after the minister criticized Hezbollah over its interference in the internal affairs of the Arab countries

  1. Aoun’s behavior is extremely strange and , should know better .
    If it wasn’t for Geagea and Hariri backing he would have never seen Baabda .
    He should know that Hezbollah never wanted him as president but was embarrassed after Geagea and Hariri backed him and after the Saudis and Iranians decided to back him too

      Even Hezbollah were hesitant on him until he made a promise he will lick Nassrallah shoes and make sure he will obey his master in Dahia. what a puppet Aoun turning out to be.

          You told me what? some steve paul blabber something and you are taking it with grain of salt? and second what do you expect when you constantly threatening Israel? If you want the farms I am sure Israel will hand it over if Lebanon were to commit peace with israel. and i am not talking opening borders and embassies. I am talking peace here. Not that I would justify Israeli nuclear/non-nuclear options because I would be very devastated if anything happened to Lebanon. But again you can’t keep threatening Israel and expect them not to fight? We accepted the PLO in our country and they were pushed on US. To date i have no clue who were the countries that pushed us into submission or forced us to have a Cairo agreement where we let you beloved PLO shoot at Israel from South Lebanon.. who the the ungrateful bastards turned their guns against us and you supported that for sure.
          I am basically starting with the original conflicts and I am sure Israel pushed some PLO over to our borders. But we should have contained the PLO and any attacks from Lebanon regardless whether we consider Israel an enemy or not? second here comes Hezbollah and Iran. Israel withdrew from South Lebanon and no one can justify their aggressions against us and they got punished for it anyway. But again we are making more excuses to attack them. If Israel pitting the arabs against each other to weaken them and keep them busy. Then you are stupid to fall for that trap and you deserve what you get.

            Who am i to “threaten Israel” ..your brain is screwed..i’m was warning about Zionism, not Judaism. Netanyahu’s Likud was founded by Irgun Menahem Begin, they introduced terrorism in the Holy Land.

            ” Encouraged by the nebulous border in the Galilee region, early Zionist strategists considered Lebanon, especially the southern portion, an arena for potential Zionist settlement. Chaim Weizmann toured Lebanon in 1907.”

            “They identified the owner as a wealthy Christian from Beirut with considerable land holdings in southern Lebanon, also available for purchase. Enthused one Hibbat Zion agent [wrote]:

            Every man has his fateful hour and now is the fateful hour to seize the land…It would be a sin on our part if we miss it. We must gather every resource in our power to effect this purchase… We will not cast from our hand this treasure, this wonderful gem, which could be for us a key to a strong position in the heights of Lebanon so dear to us.(3)”

            Is this how you communicate with people in real life? Every time something contradicts your belief system you resort to copy-paste gibberish.

            How do you act when you’re shopping at the supermarket?

            Woman at the till: “Sorry ma’am those items are no longer on discount.”
            You: “Likud zionism Irgun Begin jew settlement land + conspiracy website.”

            Listen Hind I am no way shape or form support Israel let’s be clear here. Second I hated Belfour act not for the love of Palestinians but because I didn’t want them spreading across the arab world. To me Israelis and Palestinians not generalizing them here but most are troublemakers for sure. so I would love to steer clear of both of them. No one can deny the Jewish grand scheme of divide and conquer. But that was the theme of the Al Assad Clan as well. the arabs did it to themselves. Hosni Mubarak wanted it all with his sones and didn’t give the egyptian much of anything. Saddam screwed his own people. Gaddaffi did the same. Bashar is no different with his cousins. Look at the Saudis so called royal family. Who the hell made them royal? the same in Yemen Saleh and many others. these rulers opened up the road to destructions and Israel capitalized on it. We are still protecting like these rulers still. Bashar, Nassrallah, Berri, jumblatt, Harriri, Geagea and his darling Streda.. yes they are smaller compared to Nassrallah. Basically what I am saying had we established any democracy that looks after our own Israel would not have been able to touch us. I guarantee you if the PLO didn’t try to take over Lebanon and the same for Syria. Christians would not have leaned toward Israel. The proof even when Bashir Gemayel when he met with Begin refused his hegemony over Lebanon because he didn’t want anyone controlling us regardless of what you think of him. the bottom line if we are united no powers of the west or the east or Israel can divide us. Now we are letting Iran decides our fate and using Hezbollah to push it’s agenda across middle east. we don’t want to test israel and neither we want to be an iranian pawn to be used as a defensive front for the mullahs. If we don’t give Israel excuse to attack us and if they did for no reason, the world will shun them.
