Beirut-Sana
The Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Abdullah Bouhabib, affirmed that the Lebanese government's apology to the Saudi regime against the backdrop of the current crisis is out of the question, indicating that Lebanon prefers dialogue over dictation.
"We want excellent relations with Saudi Arabia and prefer dialogue to dictation," Bouhabib said in a statement today to Reuters, adding that "the Lebanese government's apology is out of the question because it did not make a mistake, and what Information Minister George Kordahi said about the war on Yemen was before his appointment."
Bouhabib indicated that "there has been no communication between Saudi Arabia and the current Lebanese government headed by Najib Mikati since its formation."
It is noteworthy that the Saudi regime decided last Friday to recall its ambassador in Lebanon for consultations and asked the Lebanese ambassador in Riyadh to leave within 48 hours, protesting against old statements made by the Lebanese Minister of Information, George Qardahi, before assigning him to his position, in which he demanded to stop the war waged by the Saudi regime on Yemen, describing it as aggression.
