Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is expected to return to Paris on Friday for a meeting with top world diplomats to show international support for his country against the backdrop of verbal warfare between Iran, Hezbollah and Saudi Arabia about Israel's northern neighbor, according to the Associated Press.
An unnamed French official said that the meeting will be co-chaired by the United Nations and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, aiming at “reiterating the international community’s commitment to supporting Lebanon’s stability, integrity and security” and to encourage cooperation among rival Lebanese factions. Said top diplomats were not named, but the meeting comes when United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is scheduled to be in the French capital.
