Lebanese Former Prime Minister to Leave Saudi Arabia for France
---------------------------------------------------------------

In news from the Middle East, former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri
has reportedly accepted an invitation from French President Emmanuel
Macron to leave Saudi Arabia and come to France. Last week, Hariri
unexpectedly resigned as Lebanese prime minister while on a trip to
Saudi Arabia. On Wednesday, Lebanon's President Michel Aoun accused
Riyadh of holding Hariri "captive."
