Saudi King Abdullah held talks with former Lebanese Premier Saad Hariri, the first meeting between the two since the collapse of Hariri’s cabinet in January.
Hariri’s meeting with Abdullah was held at al-Safa Palace in Mecca. The discussion continued over an Iftar banquet thrown by the king, in the presence of a number of senior Saudi officials, the former prime minister’s press office said Tuesday.
An Nahar daily quoted sources as saying that the meeting was the first since the failure of the so-called Syrian-Saudi initiative to settle the crisis in Lebanon.
They said Abdullah chose Hariri as the first Lebanese personality to meet with since the collapse of the government in January and the formation of PM Najib Miqati’s cabinet has important meanings and repercussions.

Although i do not dislike Hariri and i am a partisan of Lebanese forces and Kataeb, of course king abdullah will meet with him after he posted a huge picture of him in march 14th's last rally, Idea which i reject completely and it was foolish, even MP Sami Gemayel was not happy about this, we are not under Saudi ,Iranian, Syrian or Israeli rule, we are Lebanese, and the only pictures we should put up high are all our martyrs as Gebran, Pierre, Rafik, Bassel, Samir , Walid, Bachir, René. those are our only heroes, Besides, King abdullah's weakness against the Syrian tyrant was the cause of the downfall of the previous governement despite Saudi Arabia could have even if roughly, push for Assad to not meddle anymore specially with the STL coming up and indicting him ( arnab el joulan ) and his no good for nothing Mossad-CIA-Iranian-syrian agents of chaos Hezbollah. Our country is Lebanon not Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel or Iran, no more visits to hypocrites Mr Hariri, stop your mistakes.

"Abdullah chose Hariri as the first Lebanese personality to meet with since the collapse of the government in January and the formation of PM Najib Miqati’s cabinet has important meanings and repercussions." is that a threat?
Pacifier, what do you expect from hariri? He is Saudi Arabian. He is not Lebanese. Saudi Arabians cannot be duel citizens. He was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. He and his wife and children live there still. The first time hariri spent more than a week in Lebanon was after the assignation of his father. His son is named "Abdul Aziz". He puts Saudi Arabia and the king's best interest before Lebanon. As Saudi prince Koja told Feltman, "when the the king speaks, Hariri's only answer is "yes sir"."
