In videos in cyberspace, Hariri’s followers expressed verbal attacks against the so-called desert kingdom, in solidarity with the head of the aforementioned political party.

Such acts, a Future Movement communique stated, are rejected and condemned, and the Kingdom will keep on being the compass of the honorable people in Lebanon.

Demonstrations in support of Hariri have been taking place since Saturday, after his decision of not running in the upcoming parliamentary elections was announced.

In closed-door meetings, according to reports, the former prime minister cited the lack of Saudi financial support as one of the reasons for declining his candidacy.
