According to Reuters 9 hours ago, Mr. Hariri, Prime Minister of Lebanon who resigned his position on TV in the Saudi capital of Riyadh has not surfaced.
Haven't heard a word from our government foreign policy types: Tillerson, Trump, etc.
Not even a Tweet praising the Saudis.
He has just... disappeared.
From the BBC:
Iran and its Lebanese ally, the militant Shia group Hezbollah, claim the Saudis detained Mr Hariri and forced his resignation.Sort of vague.
Mr Tillerson said he had received assurances that Mr Hariri was free.
Mr Hariri resigned a week ago while in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
"There is no legitimate place or role in Lebanon for any foreign forces, militias or armed elements other than the legitimate security forces of the Lebanese state," Mr Tillerson said in a statement.
"The United States strongly supports the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Lebanon and of its political institutions," he added.
