Foreign Ministry told PM Tamam Salam that the Lebanese authorities have received messages from Lebanese nationals residing in Gulf countries which displayed growing anxieties about the mounting reprecussions following Hezbollah’s latest incendiary speech, urging for official measures to be taken so as to safeguard their wellfare, Annahar newspaper sources reported.
Despite the fear mongering verbiage, Future-Hezbollah sources confirmed that the bipartisan dialogue, chaired by Speaker of the House Nabih Berri, remain unaffected as a new round of talks is scheduled next Thursday.
What’s more, Arab Leaders refrained from allaying regional anxieties to Hezbollah’s speech; the said speech has in fact provided the Prime Minister with an exeptional chance to validate Lebanon’s official stance.
Salam had successfully laid down the determining conditions which foster Lebanon's official allegiance to the Arab forces so as to shield the country from regional turmoil, and justifies its dissociatiove policy with regard to the Syrian crisis.
Needless to say that Salam's stance was welcomed by the wide Gulf circles.
“Salam’s decision came directly after Hezbollah’s speech to consolidate the government’s one position which does not acknowledge that of separate enterprises delibitating regional stability,” Minister Sejaan Azzi, accompanying the Lebanese delegation at the summit, told al-Nahar newspaper Sunday.
Lebanon’s official stance proves attunement with the Arab consensus nominally, and with Saudi Arabia respectively which had always extended a helping hand to the country, in moments of crisis.
In this sense, the two-pronged ties proved propitious as Annahar daily reported a rewarding meeting between PM Tamam Salam and Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Faisal.
