Lebanon’s Future parliamentary bloc warned against campaigns to undermine its relations with Saudi Arabia, underlining the presence of local and regional media outlets that publish fake news and fabricated reports to harm the interests of the Kingdom and other Arab countries. In a statement following its weekly meeting on Tuesday, chaired by Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, the bloc noted that an ongoing campaign was aimed at distorting and inciting resentment against the Kingdom by circulating false stories that will hurt Arab countries. The bloc warned “those seeking to damage Lebanon’s relationship with Saudi Arabia that their plan will fail.” The statement emphasized the Future Bloc’s “commitment and loyalty - in all its bodies and political formations – to the relationship established with Saudi Arabia.” The bloc praised the “major investment programs in infrastructure, which are being prepared by Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, to be presented by the government at the international support conference, to help Lebanon develop and strengthen its infrastructure and contribute to restore economic growth and increase employment opportunities.” It also highly valued the premier’s effort to contain the repercussions of the recent crisis between President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabib Berri over the decree of the officers’ promotion. On a separate note, the bloc hailed the “high professionalism of the internal security forces and the information division which, in a record time, revealed that one of the assistants of Major General Ashraf Rifi organized a shooting against his car in Tripoli – an operation that spared the city and its people a useless futile sedition.” The Future bloc also condemned a car bomb in Sidon Sunday that targeted a Palestinian official, describing it as “a crime aimed at destabilizing the city [Sidon] and Lebanon.”
