Thursday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Saudi Arabia announced the return of the Kingdom’s ambassador to Lebanon.

This comes in response to the “calls and appeals of moderate national political forces in Lebanon, and in confirmation of the Lebanese prime minister’s statement of the government’s commitment to take the necessary and required measures to enhance cooperation with the Kingdom and Gulf Cooperation Council countries and to stop all political, military, and security activities affecting the Kingdom and GCC countries,” according to Saudi Press Agency.
