Opposition Sources: Riyadh Informed Miqati that He is Not Welcome in Saudi
2011-07-25
[An Nahar] Riyadh has informed Prime Minister Najib Miqati that he is not welcome in Soddy Arabia, revealed opposition sources to the daily Ad Diyar on Sunday.

They added that Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Wally Jumblat
... Druze politician, head of the Progressive Socialist Party, who's been on every side in Leb at least four times. He'll sell you his friends for a dollar, but family comes higher because of shipping and handling...
was charged with relaying this message to the premier.

They stated that the Kingdom, which has supported Leb on numerous occasions on the political, economic, and financial levels, withdrew from the S-S equation that was aimed at helping Leb end its political crisis.

This was implied by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, they continued.

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising...
Qatar is also "upset" because the Doha agreement, which it sponsored to end Leb's dispute in 2008, was violated by Hizbullah and the March 8 forces.
... the opposition to the Mar. 14th movement, consisting of Hizbullah and its allies, so-called in commemoration of their Mar. 8th, 2006 demonstration of strength in Beirut ...
"The sides that had previously lifted slogans of 'Thank you, Qatar' have started launching political and media campaigns against it," said the sources.

"The time is therefore inappropriate for Miqati to go on tour of the Arab world," they continued.

Furthermore, they sited the developments in Syria as being another hindrance to his mission.

"It appears that the Arab world is adopting a cautious approach with Leb until a clear image of Syria's fate is reached," they said.

"It's impossible for Miqati to garner Arab support given the developments in Syria, the fact that he is heading a one-sided cabinet, and political campaigns launched against some Gulf states," they added.

"Should he head on an Arab tour, the talks would be strictly part of protocol visits," they stated.
