Lebanon's Saad Al Hariri, who resigned as prime minister at the weekend, is "free to move around", French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Friday amid rumours he was being held against his will in Saudi Arabia.
"He went to Abu Dhabi the day before the President (Emmanuel) Macron's visit (on Wednesday) so we think he's free to move around," Le Drian told Europe 1 radio.
In his televised speech made from Saudi Arabia, Hariri said he was stepping down because of Iran's "grip" on Lebanon and threats to his life.
Macron made a surprise overnight trip to Saudi Arabia on Thursday-Friday during a Middle East tour.
"The Lebanese situation is the most worrying subject of the moment," Le Drian added in his interview on Friday morning.
