This serves KSA no benefits and helps Israel only

However, this is not the first time.

KSA earlier allowed direct flights between India and Israel over its airspace. KSA is just one step away from normalizing with Israel openly, and it's the death of the old guard King Salman. https://t.co/TCDvJlixo5

This is his first visit to Lebanon in 27 years.

Will translate this fully about yesterday's meeting with Macron: https://t.co/zQePu81eFK

Kataeb party leader asked Macron: "What reforms can be accomplished if there is an armed group different than the Lebanese army in Lebanon?"

So Macron stressed that the priorities are not to address the weapons now nor early elections and nor changing the regime. 1/

Macron added that they also are against the weapons, but the priorities are for reform that can be done in a timely manner [unlike the subject of Hezbullah weapons that needs time and isn't connected to the reforms that Lebanon's economy needs]. 2/

He then adds that he wants to do something beneficial and doesn't want them to interfere in different things now, and if not you'll [Kataeb and Lebanese Forces] be dragging the country to destruction. 3/

Macron then asked the head of the Kataeb party Samy: "Why are you insisting on early elections, how many new seats will you get? Was I that elected Hezbullah?" [Kataeb party was defeated in a humiliating manner in the last elections] 4/

Macron then addressed Raad jokingly: "I'm here defending you and you are staying silent." 5/

Then he addressed Gaegae who stressed on creating a gov of independents: " This is not what is benefactory but rather what's important is reforms that if you do I'll be able to make sure you will get international aid. Do not involve me in your controversial internal problem. 6/

He [Macron] finally adds that it is not possible to create a government that has no political support because the government has to pass by the parliament.

Note: Macron is trying to fix and reform through the constitutional system.

This all would explain why the Lebanese Forces bloc said today:

- We respect Macron but know more than him about our country's weal.

- We didn't feel yesterday much of prime and sovereignty when a foreign country leader spoke to us, even if he's a friend. https://t.co/ktsFKhPiIT
