Mustaqbal Slams 'Campaign' Seeking to 'Sabotage' Its Ties with KSA

Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on Tuesday decried what it called “a distortion and incitement campaign” targeted against “al-Mustaqbal Movement's relation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“Local and Arab media outlets are broadcasting fabricated reports and dealing with them as if they are documents,” Mustaqbal said in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.

These reports “are only aimed at insulting the kingdom and some brotherly Arab countries,” the bloc added.

Urging “an end to these practices,” Mustaqbal emphasized that it “will remain keen on the relation that martyr premier Rafik Hariri established with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“The bloc notes that the voices seeking to sabotage Lebanon's ties with the kingdom and the Arab Gulf countries will not be able to achieve their goals no matter how much they wage distortion and accusation campaigns,” the bloc stressed.
