الحريري يزور سلام في السراي

Hariri reported brought a threat from the King of Saudi Arabia to do away with Article 24 of the Lebanese Constitution which reserves half of the Lebanese Parliament for Christians; in the King's terms, "Let you feel the wrath of the Shia majority and see how you'd deal with it."
It's unclear what Hariri and the King want Lebanon to do in order to avoid this eventuality. It's been suggested that Israel take over Lebanon, having proven it knows how to run small, third-world countries on a largely self-financing basis.
