Saudi Arabia: Regime ends ban on Lebanese exports

Source: The New Arab [UK]

“Saudi Arabia is to allow the resumption of Lebanese exports to the kingdom, its official press agency reported on Wednesday, ending a years-long ban on the goods imposed amid concerns over the influence of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Saudi de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the resumption ‘in accordance with the positive steps taken by the Lebanese government,’ the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. … In April 2021, the kingdom suspended fruit and vegetable imports from Lebanon, asserting shipments were being used for drug-smuggling and accusing Beirut of inaction.” (06/11/26)
