A fourth source familiar with the situation said Saudi Arabia was controlling and limiting his movement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"47\">In a televised statement indicating deep concern at Hariri\u2019s situation, his Future Movement political party said his return home was necessary to uphold the Lebanese system, describing him as prime minister and a national leader.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"48\">Hariri\u2019s resignation last Saturday, read out on television from Saudi Arabia, came as a shock even to his aides and further embroiled Beirut in a regional contest between Riyadh and Tehran.<\/p>\n<div class=\"DPSlot_container_2dHIN DPSlot_inline_1oeo6\" dir=\"ltr\">Hariri\u2019s exit fueled wide speculation that the Sunni Muslim politician, long an ally of Riyadh, was coerced into stepping down by Saudi Arabia as it seeks to hit back against Iran and its Lebanese Shi\u2018ite ally, Hezbollah.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"51\">In his resignation speech, Hariri denounced Iran and Hezbollah for sowing strife in Arab states and said he feared assassination. His father, a former prime minister, was killed by a bomb in 2005.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"52\">Saudi Arabia has denied reports he is under house arrest.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But Hariri has issued no statements himself to that effect, and has not denied that his movements are being restricted.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">RESTRICTED FREEDOM<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"55\"><strong>\u201cKeeping Hariri with restricted freedom in Riyadh is an attack on Lebanese sovereignty. Our dignity is his dignity. We will work with (foreign) states to return him to Beirut,\u201d said the senior Lebanese official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the government had yet to declare that position.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Saudi Arabia says Hariri resigned because Hezbollah, which was included in Hariri\u2019s coalition government, had \u201chijacked\u201d Lebanon\u2019s political system.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"57\">Hariri aides had until Thursday denied he was under house arrest but took a dramatically different tone after a meeting of the Future Movement convened at Hariri\u2019s Beirut residence on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"58\">A statement read by former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said his return was \u201cnecessary to recover respect for Lebanon\u2019s internal and external balance, and in the framework of full respect for Lebanese legitimacy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"59\">Hariri\u2019s aunt, Bahia, sat next to Siniora as he read the statement. The party stood behind his leadership, it said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"60\">Hariri came to office last year in a political deal that made the Hezbollah-allied Christian politician Michel Aoun head of state and produced a coalition government grouping most Lebanese parties including Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"61\">Saudi Arabia blessed the government at the time, but has been fiercely critical of the Hariri-led government since he stepped down, saying it failed to act against Hezbollah, whose guerrilla army is far more powerful than the weak state.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Saudi Arabia had wanted Hariri to take a tougher stance toward Hezbollah, and he failed to do so, the fourth source said. \u201cHe was functioning as if it is business as usual, so the Saudis had to accelerate the process and to force a resignation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"Image_container_1tVQo\" dir=\"ltr\">Saudi Arabia this week lumped Lebanon together with Hezbollah as parties that are hostile to it, breaking with a long-established policy that has drawn a line between them and raising concerns of further Saudi measures.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/31.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-108543 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/31-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"659\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/31-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/31.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">SAUDI ARRESTS<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"71\"><strong>Hariri flew to Saudi Arabia last Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"72\"><strong>The top Lebanese government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: \u201cLebanon is heading toward asking foreign and Arab states to put pressure on Saudi Arabia to release Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The official said Hariri was still Lebanon\u2019s prime minister, echoing other Lebanese government officials who say his resignation had not been received by Aoun, and his government therefore remained in place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Slideshow_inline-container_3FQ3h\" dir=\"ltr\">The resignation of Hariri, a business tycoon whose family made its fortune in Saudi Arabia, happened at the same time as a wave of arrests of Saudi princes and businessmen accused of corruption by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"86\">The senior Lebanese politician close to Hariri said: \u201cWhen he went (to Saudi Arabia) he was asked to stay there and ordered to resign. They ordered him to read his resignation statement and he has been held under house arrest since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"87\">Two U.S. officials said the Saudis, led by Crown Prince Mohammed, had \u201cencouraged\u201d Hariri to leave office.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"88\">The fourth source said: \u201cHe is under controlled movement by the Saudis, limited movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"89\">Hezbollah\u2019s parliamentary bloc said Saudi Arabia must halt its interference in Lebanese affairs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"90\">He made a one-day flying visit to the United Arab Emirates, a close Saudi ally, earlier this week before returning to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"92\">Hariri\u2019s office said in a statement he had received the French ambassador to Saudi Arabia at his Riyadh residence on Thursday. He had also met the head of the EU mission to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, and on Tuesday the British ambassador and the U.S. charge d\u2018affaires.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"93\">State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert confirmed U.S. Charge d\u2018Affaires Chris Henzel met with Hariri. Asked about reports Hariri was being held in Saudi Arabia, Nauert declined to elaborate on his status or what was discussed, calling the talks \u201csensitive, private, diplomatic conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"94\">Nauert indicated the United States would not treat the Lebanese government any differently as a result of the uncertainty over Hariri.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"95\">Saudi Arabia warned its citizens on Thursday against travel to Lebanon and said those already there should leave. It has issued similar advice about Lebanon to its citizens before.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lebanon\u2019s Maronite patriarch will visit Saudi Arabia next week and has received \u201ca positive response\u201d from Saudi officials over the possibility of seeing Hariri, his spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Patriarch Beshara al-Rai\u2019s visit \u201chad been decided on a long time ago. In light of the developments, his mission has become national,\u201d Walid Ghayyad said. The patriarch will take a message to the kingdom that \u201cLebanon cannot handle conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Lebanon believes Saad al-Hariri is being held in Saudi Arabia, from where he resigned as Lebanese prime minister, two top government officials in Beirut said, amid a deepening crisis pushing Lebanon onto the frontlines of a power struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
