NNA - "A national meeting, the aim of which is unity and its basis is to adhere to Taif and strengthen the relationship between Lebanon and its Arab brothers," said caretaker minister of Interior via his Twitter account this evening.

"We support it, and affirm that Dar Al-Fatwa was and will remain an unifying edifice in the approach to national affairs," Mawlawi went on.

"The invitation of the Saudi ambassador is only evidence of the importance of the meeting and an affirmation of the Kingdom's keenness on Lebanon and its people and its support for legitimacy," he added.
