Saudi King Reiterates Support for Lebanon's 'Unity, Stability'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Saudi Arabia remains committed to Lebanon’s “security, unity, Arab identity and stability,” Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud stressed Sunday.

“Our tours and visits to some Arab capitals last year were aimed at bridging differences … and the kingdom’s efforts were focused on preserving civil peace in Lebanon, which we still support its security, unity, Arab identity and stability,” the king said in a statement addressed to the Saudi Shoura Council, which also tackled other domestic and Arab affairs.

On January 12, Hizbullah and its allies forced the collapse of Saad Hariri's cabinet in a long-running feud over the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which the party accuses of being a “U.S.-Israeli plot” against it.

With Hizbullah’s blessing, Najib Miqati was then appointed to form a new government, which Hariri's alliance had refused to join and labeled "Hizbullah's government".

Before the withdrawal of Hizbullah and its allies from Hariri’s government, a Saudi-Syrian initiative failed to reach an agreement among the feuding Lebanese parties.

In 2010, King Abdullah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made a joint visit to Beirut in a bid to convince Lebanese leaders to accept the botched initiative.

Dear "Le Phenicien",

Hope u get free of your paranoia soon.

Have u ever wondered if KSA wanted to do in Lebanon an "Emara", it would have started with UAE, Qatar & Bahrain instead? These r Sunni "Salafi" places too. KSA is trying to get liberated itself, why should it turn other countries to Emaras? Hariri & Mustaqbal r the moderate Sunnis in Lebanon and u are tryin 2 destroy them. I really wish they r weakened, so u experience the real Salafis in action.

I think talking to u is a waste of time - u only follow what ur orange lunatic leader says. One of his earlier qoutes after arriving to Leb "we agree on 95% of Al Mustaqbal view for Lebanon future" :) what happened to that? If he was mistaken, u should punish him for misleading the public.

Enjoy the Iranian shador in Da7yeh, "Le Phenicien", and never think of passing by Verdun or Hamra, cz the Salafi's will kill you.

1 more thing, pheniciens lived in a time era b4 arabs.So you can be both.Btw they were black. r u?

Saudi emir or Syrian dictators or iranian actors, all want to subordinate this country to their proper sect. They have a common ennemy: The democracy placed by the christians 60 years ago which made Lebanon different from its neighbours.
The main purpose of the war was to destroy it in order to transform the country into a controlled land. Hariri and Hezbollah are the products of this war and its main income. Both aim to destroy the country financially and physically. Both have fake ideologies built-up from circonstances, without any history. Both try to make their followers beleive their cause. Both try to erase history or to transform it.

Before being so keen on our security and unity, you'd better watch out when women will regain their status of "human beings" in Saudi Arabia and the choc will be hard to absorb! Welcome to the 19th Century...

Free Lebanese. The pheonicians were black?? So I guess that means Jesus black as well? LoL. It's very sad that most Lebanese and the world know very little about pheonicians and their culture.

ado, jesus was israelite, not phoenician. Stop claiming everything to be phoenician and stop thinking lebanese are phoenician. Some of our ancestors were PART phoenician. Most lebanese dont have any phoenician blood in them and those who do only have some phoenician blood, its not 100 % or even 50 % phoenician blood. Please understand that the entire levant was the melting pot of the world, many diffirent civilizations came here and settled. We dont have a phoenician culture, nor language nor anything so stop being ignorant. Its silly to claim to be phoenicians.Nobody even did this before the french colonializers tried to turn lebanon in to a maronite state and used the phoenician card to try to get them to seperate from the rest of syrians. And the phoenicians had blacks among them in case you didnt know this. Phoenicians lived in parts of the levant, egypt, tunisia and as far as ethiopia. I have seen a black egyptian who had phoenician heritage so enough of this madness.

it is normal to see farsis upset by the king of Arabs when he speaks :)
as a reminder we are an arab country and there is no place for farsis here, so hizbullah and their followers go back where you belong, go back to iran, and let us live in peace in our country.
hizbullah stop the invasion of our country.
