Tillerson meets world diplomats in Paris to support Lebanese PM Hariri

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was in Paris on Friday to voice America’s support for Lebanon’s “sovereignty, stability and independence,” AP reported. Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad Hariri was also attending the summit of world diplomats in France in support of his country. It is the first major gathering to discuss Lebanon’s future since a crisis erupted following Hariri’s shock resignation last month while in Saudi Arabia. Hariri has since rescinded his bizarre resignation. The US State Department said Tillerson would affirm US support for Lebanon’s military and would also encourage other nations “to do more to constrain Hezbollah.” French President Emmanuel Macron called on Mid-East countries to refrain from interfering in Lebanese domestic affairs.
