Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Wednesday stressed that “it was Saudi Arabia that started the problem with Lebanon” and not the other way around, amid an unprecedented diplomatic crisis with Riyadh and other Gulf capitals.

“We don’t demand anything from it other than stopping its interference in our domestic affairs,” Qassem added.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati visited Wednesday the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut and discussed with Metropolitan Elias Aude the repercussions of the Beirut port blast and the country’s economic hardship.

“We discussed the living, educational and health conditions of the Lebanese,” Miqati said after meeting Aude.

Lebanon's ambassadors who were recently asked to leave Bahrain and Saudi Arabia amid an unprecedented diplomatic spat with Gulf countries expressed fear Wednesday the dispute could harm the interests of Lebanese living in the region.

The warning, which included concerns that bilateral relations could further worsen, came as the daily al-Qabas newspaper reported that Kuwait halted issuing visas to Lebanese citizens. The dispute over comments made by Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi marks the worst row between Lebanon and Saudi Arabia in decades.

Kuwait is to limit the number of visas it issues for Lebanese nationals as a diplomatic row festers between Beirut and Gulf states, a security source in the emirate said Wednesday.

Marking over “a decade of strong bilateral military partnership and friendship,” British Ambassador to Lebanon Ian Collard made a visit to the 2nd Land Border Regiment in the Bekaa, the British embassy said.

President Michel Aoun tweeted Wednesday that “innocents do not fear the judiciary.”

He added that “those who put themselves in the accusation position mustn't blame those who think badly of them.”

The Lebanese Judges Association warned Wednesday against judicial politicization, urging the politicians to stop interfering in the Judiciary and to “let the judicial path go on without abuse.”

They said in a statement that “Lebanese politicians tend to destroy anything they deal with.”

Minister of Justice Henry Khoury warned Wednesday against turning the port blast case into a “judicial drama.”

Khoury felt sorry for the “unprecedented violation of the sanctity of the Palace of Justice.”

George Kordahi was popular among TV viewers in the Middle East for his dapper charm. He schmoozed with beautiful women, dropped jokes and recited lines of Arabic poetry — all the while weighing in with his political opinions about the region's events.

Now the former host of the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is Lebanon's information minister, and those opinions have landed Kordahi at the center of his country's worst-ever crisis with Saudi Arabia.

Arab League Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki’s visit to Lebanon on Monday was “fully coordinated” with Saudi Arabia, media reports said on Tuesday.

“This effort was preceded by communication between the Arab League’s secretary-general and the Saudi foreign minister, who was briefed on the atmosphere of the endeavor,” sources informed on the Arab League’s move told al-Liwaa newspaper, adding that Riyadh had “welcomed” the visit.
