Report: Saudi, Egyptian Officials 'Annoyed' with Bassil's Disassociation Statements
Saudi Arabian and Egyptian officials were reportedly “annoyed” with Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil's remarks at the Arab League summit that Lebanon is committed to its policy of disassociation from regional disputes, said the daily al-Mustaqbal on Sunday.
The officials were bothered that the policy did not coincide with the Arab consensus on backing a coalition to combat regional threats.
They were reportedly asked to await Prime Minister Tammam Salam's statement at the Arab League summit ahead of jumping to conclusions over Lebanon's official stance.
Salam had declared during his speech on Saturday night that Lebanon is “keen on the joint Arab interest.”
He also voiced his “complete support” to any Arab position that preserves the sovereignty of Yemen.
The premier added however that Lebanon should “be kept neutral regional conflicts.”
The 22 members of the Arab League met in Egypt's Sharm al-Sheikh for a summit overshadowed by the Saudi-led offensive against Yemen's Huthi rebels to discuss a joint-Arab military force to confront "terrorist groups".

I wonder what they can do if they get annoyed too much and some. I am sure there are hundreds of desirable job opportunities waiting in Iran that Lebanese expatriates in those countries can take. I am sure that Iran can deposit billions of dollars in the Lebanese central bank or arm the Lebanese army to the tune of $4 billion.

That's all the M14ers want, to dance like monkeys for the Bedouins. They cannot stand it when someone with dignity tells them "no".

You meant to say that you're happy ya Mystic that you have lapdogs who for a variety of reasons and common interests to you are holding such a sensitive post as the FM? If honesty is something you gauge through a nothing like Bassil who literally did not even have enough cash to further his school education, today owns half of Batroun amongst other areas, then I would rather throw my vocab book and find something else,....or maybe you are the one that should, to me the word honesty is not measured in your ways.

hypocrit bassil... but then again what to expect from an idiot FPMer?
Disassociation? while he does not condemn whatsoever hezbollah's involvement in syrian affairs... or maybe hezbollah is not lebanese but iranian so his "Policy" does not apply....
