Gemayel in Saudi to Meet Number of High-Ranking Officials
The head of the Phalange Party Amin Gemayel traveled to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, in a first visit of its kind by a Lebanese official since the failure of the Saudi-Syrian initiative that was aimed at ending Lebanon’s political crisis in 2010, reported the daily An Nahar on Sunday.
Gemayel, who is accompanied by his son MP Sami Gemayel, was invited to the Kingdom by Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awadh Asiri.
They are expected to hold talks with Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, if his health permits him, revealed Phalange Party sources to the daily.
They will also hold talks with Second Deputy Premier Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, the head of General Intelligence Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz, Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, Deputy Foreign Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, and a number of other high-ranking officials.
The sources added that the Saudi leadership may be taking important measures towards the region, including Lebanon.
They noted that former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is currently residing in the kingdom.
“Gemayel enjoys good relations with the kingdom and his visit will serve to bolster these ties,” they added.
The Phalange Party leader is expected to return to Lebanon on Wednesday.

Amin 3al Fashal brought the most populous party down to three members only: himself, Sami and Nadim (who will soon switch to the other filthy band of thugs known as the Lebanese Fartses). Therefore, Cheikh 3al Fashal wants to hire Saudi thugs to join the Kataeb. After all, Cheikh 3al Fashal is a Hariri Christian Sunni. Good luck, FESHEL!

The visit of Mr Gemayel is purely financial....Let us face it For some Sectarian leaders offering service to foreign countries is considered to be one of the Pillars of our GDP...
Instead of having 1 decent captain leading the ship we have dozen of pirates in control...
