An academic believes Saudi Arabia has forced Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri to resign, saying a claim about an attempt on his life is a “mere veil” to justify his stay in the kingdom.

“So I believe that the Saudis dealt with Saad Hariri not as Lebanese prime minister but more as their employee who was hired by them and his father before him for the past 40 years to implement Saudi policies in Lebanon on behalf of Saudi influence mainly,” Jamal Wakim, a professor at the Lebanese International University, told Press TV in an interview on Sunday.
