Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who resigned at the weekend, is "free to move around", French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Friday amid rumors he was being held against his will in Saudi Arabia.
"He went to Abu Dhabi the day before the President (Emmanuel) Macron's visit (on Wednesday) so we think he's free to move around," Le Drian told Europe 1 radio.
Macron made a surprise overnight trip to Saudi Arabia on Thursday-Friday during a Middle East tour that saw him attend the inauguration of the new Louvre museum in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
"The Lebanese situation is the most worrying subject of the moment," Le Drian added in his interview on Friday morning.
Lebanon "was moving towards a new solution with a new constitution, elections to come. The departure of Prime Minister Hariri creates new uncertainties," Le Drian added
