Miqati-Hariri Meeting Lasted Barely Few Minutes

Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati's meeting with outgoing PM Saad Hariri on Wednesday as part of a series of protocol visits on former prime ministers lasted barely a few minutes, local media reported.

Footage aired on television stations showed the two men sitting silently.

Neither Miqati nor Hariri made any statements following the meeting at Center House.

Pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat on Thursday, however, said Hariri reportedly told Miqati: “I dealt with you openly and honestly throughout the previous stage. But you were not honest with me.”

Miqati wrapped up his visits to ex-PMs by meeting Hariri at Center House on Wednesday.

His visits included his former counterparts Rashid al-Solh, Michel Aoun, Omar Karami, and Fouad Saniora.
