Prime Minister Saad Hariri has traveled to Abu Dhabi from Riyadh, three days after announcing his shock resignation, to hold talks with Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Future TV said on Tuesday.
The television channel added that the meeting between the two men is scheduled at noon.
Hariri stunned the Lebanese with his resignation on Saturday and a haltingly delivered televised statement from the kingdom fueled speculations.
In the speech, he accused Iran of meddling in Arab affairs and Iran-backed Hizbullah of holding Lebanon hostage.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah speculated on Sunday that Saudi Arabia had forced Hariri to resign amid the deepening Saudi-Iran rivalry.
