Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri arrived in France today from Saudi Arabia. He will meet French President Macron at noon, after which he and family will attend function in his honor.
France is attempting to broker a solution to a political crisis that has gripped Lebanon and much of the region with possibilities of showdown between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
In unconfirmed reports suggest that Hariri may be travelling to Lebanon next wednesday to formally resign as the Prime Minister of the country.
The entire middle east has been on edge ever since Hariri resigned in a televised address from Saudi Arabia, while being on a sate visit there. The actions that followed created a unique moment of national unity within Lebanon, wherein both the Hezbollah and Sunni Arabs saw actions of Saudis as insult to their nation.
With saber rattling across the region, a war between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia seemed all but inevitable, however the European behind the scene negotiations seem to have greatly helped towards taking steps towards normalcy.
