hariri in terview in RiyadhPrime Minister Saad Hariri’s older brother has broken his silence over the premier’s mysterious resignation, saying he supports his brother’s decision.

In his first public statement, Bahaa Hariri blasted Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.

The statement from Bahaa Hariri’s office was sent to The Associated Press Wednesday. In it, the elder Hariri accuses Hezbollah of seeking “to take control of Lebanon.” He also expressed gratitude to Saudi Arabia for “decades of support” for Lebanon’s national institutions.

 Bahaa Hariri’s name has been mentioned in Lebanese media reports as a possible Saudi-backed candidate to replace his brother, who announced his resignation from the Saudi capital on Nov. 4.

    Enough of this B.S. Lebanon needs to demand Hariri comes back with his family and not alone. This way we can be more confident we get a less pressured explanation instead of being under Saudi arabia control. If his family left behind then I don’t trust the Saudi Bin Salman. Saudi needs to come clean but unfortunately the whole middle east is controlled by few so called leaders. If Saudi decided to kick Lebanese it will be disastrous and I am sure Hezbollah and Iran would love nothing to see Lebanese suffer at the hands of the Saudis. Anyway so far Iran and it’s proxies are winning the war and Saudi Arabia is getting sucked into the trap instead of acting responsibly.

    YaLibnan give us REAL news the whole planet knows Hariri was reading a script written by the Saudis, so stop it we’re not sheep.. you’re a traitor promoting War
    on Lebanon, flooding the place with Zionists trolls while the Lebanese left YaLibnan.

    ‘Secret Leaked Israeli Cable Confirm Israeli-Saudi Coordination To Provoke War’
    The classified embassy cable, written in Hebrew, constitutes the first formal evidence proving that the Saudis and Israelis are deliberately coordinating to escalate the situation in the Middle East.

    I published on channel 10 a cable sent to Israeli diplomats asking to lobby for Saudis/Hariri and against Hezbollah.
    The cable sent from the MFA in Jerusalem [Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs] to
    all Israeli embassies toes the Saudi line regarding the Hariri resignation.
    The Israeli diplomats were instructed to demarch their host governments over the domestic political situation in Lebanon – a very rare move.

    The cable said: “You need to stress that the Hariri resignation shows how dangerous Iran and Hezbollah are for Lebanon’s security.”
    “Hariri’s resignation proves wrong the argument that Hezbollah participation in the government stabilizes Lebanon,” the cable added.
    The cable instructed Israeli diplomats to support Saudi Arabia over its war with the Houthis in Yemen. The cable also stressed: “The missile launch by the Houthis towards Riyadh calls for applying more pressure on Iran & Hezbollah.”

  3. Michael Totten – who is as far ideologically removed from the “Resistance” as it gets, thinks Hezbollah’s version of the Hariri saga might be close to the truth:

    “He said Israel and Saudi Arabia are in complete agreement about Iran’s intentions.
    He also noted that Israel and Saudi Arabia have never fought each other.
    Eisenkot said that Israel’s military situation has never been better.
    He said that was why it is “highly regarded by the moderate countries in the region.” (ouch..aie..))

    Really Israel?
    2016-Attacks on schools and hospitals and the denial of humanitarian assistance
    to children continue to occur. The UN verified 51 attacks on education facilities, including schools and personnel.”

    Sixty-three health facilities were attacked, the U.N. verified, and basic“services and infrastructure in Yemen are on the verge of total collapse.”
    According to a report from UNICEF, the bombing campaign has taken an extraordinary toll on the civilian population in Yemen:

    1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Israelis and Saudis can work together, albeit temporarily, to combat their mutual threat. Not unprecedented in history.

      Removing Iran from Yemen would be a good start in ending the humanitarian disaster you refer to. Iran doesn’t care about the people, just the location.

      1. The Israelis and Saudis & Co. can work together, to combat a mutual threat.
        However not when Hind is around https://twitter.com/AbyadHind/status/931200143558348800

        1. In my opinion,Its the most stupid thing to do.
          siding with any side in this regional conflict has no logic. We’re not muslim, this is not our fight and there is no point in empowering one fanatic sect over the other fanatic sect. Isis or hezbolah, iran or sa is same and we know what would happen later, our new “allies” would turn on us in their never ending quest for “holy wars”.
          I’d like to believe any cooperation is on a tactical level and not strategic level.

          1. JPost already ran the article hours ago.

            “We are ready to exchange experiences with Saudi Arabia and other moderate Arab countries and exchange intelligence information confront Iran,” Eisenkot told the Elaph newspaper, adding that “there are many shared interests between us and Saudi Arabia.”

      “How can world leaders end Yemen’s crisis?”

      By kicking Iran out of Yemen the way they kicked out Saddam’s forces from Kuwait in 1991.

    ‘On The Verge Of Catastrophe: Saudi Arabia Says Lebanon Declared War’
    With that in mind, here is the statement currently making headlines as reported by Reuters:

    “Saudi Arabia said on Monday that Lebanon had declared war against it because of attacks against the Kingdom by the Lebanese Shi‘ite group Hezbollah.

    Saudi Gulf affairs minister Thamer al-Sabhan told Al-Arabiya TV that Saad
    al-Hariri, who announced his resignation as Lebanon’s prime minister on Saturday, had been told that acts of “aggression” by Hezbollah “were considered acts of a declaration of war against Saudi Arabia by Lebanon
    and by the Lebanese Party of the Devil”.
