Macron invites Hariri and his family to France
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] President Emmanuel Macron has invited Leb's Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri and his family to La Belle France, the French presidency said on Wednesday, seeking to defuse a brewing crisis in the Middle East.

Hariri announced his abrupt resignation as premier 11 days ago from the Saudi capital Riyadh, propelling Leb to the front of a regional contest for power between Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and Iran.

"After speaking with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri the president has invited Saad al-Hariri and his family to La Belle France," the Elysee said in a statement.

A source in the Elysee palace said Hariri was expected to arrive in Gay Paree with his family in the coming days.

La Belle France's foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, was due in Riyadh on Wednesday evening.

The Elysee palace statement referred to Hariri as Leb's prime minister and gave no explicit reason for Macron's invitation.
Ynet adds that President Macron does not intend this to be an offer of exile, but merely a visit of a few days to reduce tensions before Mr. Hariri returns to Lebanon.
