Emile Lahoud insists that Lebanese PM Seniora will attend the Arab summit as a 'guest'. The Saudis don't agree
Don't let those pesky Arabs bully you
The Baabda palace issued a statement that the Arab League summit was for "kings, heads of state and princes" and that anyone else is only considered as a "guest."
Perhaps Mr. Lahhoud, who will be traveling abroad the MEA, should pick up a copy of the free "Al-Hayat" newspapers available on board. The newspaper, which is a Saudi Government media outlet, published today the agenda of the coming Arab summit. Here's the wording on Lebanon:
كما تناقش القمة توفير الدعم السياسي والاقتصادي للحكومة اللبنانية بما يحفظ الوحدة الوطنية وأمن لبنان واستقراره وسيادته على كامل أراضيه
Translation:
The summit will discuss providing political and economic support to the Lebanese Government to keep national unity and the security and stability of Lebanon and its sovereignty over all its territory.
It's obvious who the host thinks the unwelcome guest is.
