NNA – Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon, Walid Bukhari, on Wednesday affirmed in a chat with journalists that everything that was being said about the KSA’s endeavors to deport Lebanese nationals from its territories was absolutely unfounded.

“In the midst of the Gulf War, the KSA never deported anyone because it was built on humanitarian foundations,” Bukhari said.

He recollected that when he had gone to the KSA to receive his Coronavirus shot, he found Lebanese familiesqueued before him after having registered their names. “This is something that pleased me because my state did not differentiate between a citizen and a resident — neither with regard to waiting in line nor with regard to the type of vaccine,” he explained.

Bukhari finally expressed belief that what had won the kingdom the respect of the international community was its unified language and political discourse, in public and in secret.
