(SALEM, Ore.) - In the aftermath of Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri's initiative to start talks between the parties and political factions in Lebanon to avoid a social crisis, the Saudi Embassy in Lebanon openly opposed these negotiations and has taken two different stances to thwart the talks.

According to reports, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia on one hand, prevents Lebanese Forces from entering the talks and on the other hand, has obliged the Al- Mustaqbal Movement to participate in these discussions.

It intends to prevent national consensus through the Al- Mustaqbal movement and it is going to vitiate national dialogue and political agreement for resolving the Lebanese crisis.

It is worth noting that Lebanese Forces, who are faced political hurdles in the Lebanese political arena, could draw the new Saudi rulers' attraction and confidence and find a good position as well.

Therefore to compensate for the failures and to keep its financial sponsor, the country has chosen absolute obedience of the Saudis as the only alternative.
