Saudi ban not lifted, elections won’t happen, envoys reportedly tell Hariri
Al-Mustaqbal Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri returned Friday to the United Arab Emirates after spending several days in Lebanon during which he delivered the annual February 14 speech and met with a number of politicians and ambassadors.
Hariri, who did not announce a decisive stance regarding participation in the parliamentary elections, is waiting to know the exact date of the elections and is “betting on time and on the continuation of the Arab and international efforts and mediations to lift the Saudi ban on him,” al-Binaa newspaper reported.
“Hariri sensed from some Arab and foreign ambassadors he met in recent days that Saudi Arabia has not lifted the ban on him. He also understood that the parliamentary elections will not take place on time,” informed sources told the daily.
