السعودية تطلب من رعاياها مغادرة لبنان والامارات تدعو بالمثل وتخفِّض بعثتها الدبلوماسية

Does this apply to Hariri too?

Let the series of explosions begin.

Consequences, this is what happens when Lebanon has all of its economic eggs in one basket and all of its political, security and military eggs in another basket. Hezbollah and its toadies in the FPM cannot just go about following their agenda, trashing their opponents in Saudi Arabia when Saudi Arabia has such a large say in Lebanese economic and financial affairs.
How many Lebanese Expats live and work in the GCC and KSA sending remittances home to Lebanon. That's $8.0 billion in hard currency that comes to Lebanon from workers in those countries and Thibran Inbassil trashes them?
How much of the Lebanese debt instruments are held by KSA and the GCC and how much do they continue to purchase to prop up the Lebanese economy? Did Nasrallah think of that before his tirade?

Should Lebanon have Hezbollah at the head of State, making unilateral decisions of war and peace, internal security and foreign and diplomatic policy? Lebanon is supposed to be balanced, but here there is no balance.
Should Lebanon be so reliant upon the KSA for its financial and economic health? Of course not, but this is the product of the Lebanese political class having mortgaged Lebanon's public policy decisions to outside benefactors. When those outside benefactors are engaged in a regional competition and open hot warfare, the fate of Lebanon hangs in the balance when one side disregards or disrespects the other. The props are pulled out and the nation is now at risk.

Don't think that KSA will stop, not now, they see the impact its decisions are having and a change to change the balance of power in Lebanon from Lebanon being a Persian statelet to one that is more closely aligned to the Arab world and under KSA's wing. So, where does that leave the Lebanese Christians?? Fighting the Geagea - Aoun Wars as their house collapses around them and from under their feet.

Maybe this will teach all of them corrupt politicians a lesson now that the well is drying up.

Allow me please to make a correction:
The Iranian Mullahs have deposited about $84 Billion in personal accounts in Lebanese banks. This is the result of bribes obtained in Iran such as the issuance of passports to citizens. provide permits for various projects in Iran
SOURCE: US world and news report
Such deposits were made to avoid the embargo imposed then and grew tenfold during the financial crisis of 2008

@thirteen
I am afraid you're wrong as the shias will feel the least impact as they are subsidized by HA and Iran. In fact today as we speak they are the only ones with cash buying real estate from poor sunnis and christians

@anonym
for your info Lebanese banks deposits stand at $r80 Billion

ooops $380 billion sorry

If you call financial aid blackmail, I can entertain you. But Iran and Syria have blackmailed us using terror and death for decades.

I said the same thing regarding Iranians when Khomeini took over. Ordinary people fell victims to crazy Mullahs, HA trying to do same to Lebaneon

I wonder how all the hezzies will handle their own people once they get kicked out of the gulf en masse. Send them to Tehran where the economy is booming and the Lebanese have long been leaders in their fields?

don't have wild dreams, only real Lebanese can be up to the task

of course you are not mowaten; you are a new poster who just stumbled upon naharnet.
