FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The official UAE state news agency said the United Arab Emirates Foreign Ministry has “urged citizens not to travel to Lebanon until the tense security situation there is cleared.”
UAE foreign ministry official Issa Abdullah al-Kalbani said the statement has been issued to “guarantee the safety” of the citizens.
Kalbani also urged the citizens “currently in Lebanon to leave the country.”
The official called on those UAE citizens in Lebanon to contact the UAE Embassy in Beirut to give their whereabouts and contact details in case they “have to stay back for any unavoidable reasons.”
In addition to the UAE, the official Qatari news agency QNA also issued a similar warning to citizens due to the “unstable security situation” in Lebanon.
The latest statements by the UAE and Qatar were issued two days after a person was killed and seven others wounded in clashes between supporters and the opponents of the Syrian government in the Lebanese northern port city of Tripoli on May 17.
Reports say ten people, including the one person who died on Thursday, have been killed as a result of the clashes between the two rival groups in Tripoli since May 12.
Clashes broke out between the supporters of the Syrian government, from the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood of Tripoli, and its opponents, who come from the nearby Bab al-Tibbaneh neighborhood, on May 12 as anti-Damascus demonstrators tried to approach the offices of the pro-Damascus Syrian Social Nationalist Party in Tripoli.
Lebanese security forces intervened to disperse the demonstrators, who were calling for the release of Shadi al-Mawlawi, arrested in Tripoli over allegations of having links to a “terrorist organization.”
