The king of Morocco was spotted drunk in France. King Mohammad rules over a nation of 35 million Muslims.
One week after the video of King Mohammed VI sparked outrage and speculation, the palace reacted via its spokesman, Abdelhak Lamrini:
“The king was walking through the streets of Paris, and when he turned around to greet people, he almost lost his balance and leaned on his bodyguards. He didn’t have a glass of wine, but a bottle of water in his hand.”
The video is genuine and new, but Lamrini warned that it is intended to “tarnish the king’s image”. Moroccan website Hespress had immediately blamed “a new Algerian attempt to insult King Mohammed VI and a systematic move to attack the Kingdom of Morocco”.
It remains unclear why the king was late at night dressed in blue denim in the streets of Paris, but the Spanish newspaper El Español noted that he celebrated his 59th birthday on 21 August. This date is considered a national holiday, and is called the “Youth Festival”, but for the fourth consecutive year there were no official celebrations in Morocco.

⋯ Hochstein urged the European leaders, notably France, to support French multinational petroleum company Total in announcing its readiness to operate in the southern Lebanese maritime blocs.
The Lebanese Minister of Energy in the caretaker government, Walid Fayyad, told Al-Joumhouria newspaper that neither Total nor the Italian oil company, Eni, can work in the Lebanese blocks without obtaining guarantees from the US and Tel Aviv.

⋯ As a result of this reality, Fayyad stressed the importance of the equation set by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah, who announced that “either both countries extract gas, or neither do”.
Hochstein is expected to visit West Asia next week, and will land in Lebanon on 7 September after concluding his meeting with Israeli officials in light of the new developments.
