KSA reportedly advises Lebanon to expedite arms monopoly, go to 'direct negotiations'
Saudi Arabia has advised Lebanon to quickly finalize the monopolization of weapons in the country and go to “direct negotiations” with Israel, Gulf diplomatic sources said.
“The alternative will be costly and in the form of a destructive new Israeli war or a complete shunning of Lebanon by the Arab world and the West,” the sources warned, in remarks to the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper.
Criticizing the latest Egyptian initiative, the sources said “Saudi Arabia believes that the mediations that overlook arms monopolization and direct negotiations will not be able to protect Lebanon.”
