Saudi Arabia Targets Hariri Influence
The article discusses the results of the Beirut Families Associations Union elections in Lebanon, revealing reports that the political influence of the Hariri family has significantly waned. The report indicates that a list allied with MP Fouad Makhzoumi won 11 seats, compared to 7 seats secured by the Future Movement list. These findings are considered a new blow to the Hariri influence in Beirut and are viewed within the context of Saudi efforts to reshape the Lebanese Sunni landscape and to diminish the political impact of the "Hariri political dynasty." It is worth noting that the union holds historical significance, having been closely linked to the late Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who established strong relations with it. However, internal family divisions, rebellions, and recent political developments have led to a decline in its influence in the region.
