Lebanese newspapers headlines on Friday morning put the death of Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdel Aziz in the lime light, as all papers focused on the decease of the Saudi king who was admitted to the hospital on the New Year’s Eve for treatment from pneumonia.
Papers also tackled several files, where the Lebanese dailies are still concerned with the Qunaitra “Israeli” aggression and its repercussions, awaiting the speech to be delivered by Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in addition to the security file of Ain al-Helweh Palestinian camp which has turned into safe haven for terrorists in Lebanon.

As-Safir newspaper started its editorial by writing “The Saudi king Abdullah Bin Abdel Aziz departs life in a very sensitive timing on both levels, the regional and international, leaving behind questions on the fate and future of the Saudi Kingdom and that of the Arab world which is confronted with harsh political turmoil, with its repercussions spreading worldwide.”
Saudi Arabia’s elderly King Abdullah died on Friday and was replaced by his half-brother Salman as the absolute ruler of the world’s top oil exporter and the spiritual home of Islam.
Saudi Arabia’s elderly King Abdullah died on Friday and was replaced by his half-brother Salman as the absolute ruler of the world’s top oil exporter and the spiritual home of Islam.
The royal court said in a statement that Abdullah, believed to be around 90, died at 1:00 am local time.
Under Abdullah, who took the throne in 2005, Saudi Arabia has been a key ally of Washington in the Arab world, with its support to the armed groups in Syria and its relations with Egypt’s Muslim brotherhood topping the list of mutual cooperation.
US President Barack Obama was quick to pay tribute to Abdullah as a ‘valued ally’.
“As our countries worked together to confront many challenges, I always valued King Abdullah’s perspective and appreciated our genuine and warm friendship,” Obama said in a written statement shortly after the monarch’s death.
According to As-Safir daily, despite the expected soon death of Saudi king due to his illness, yet his decease still raises questions concerning the future of Saudi Arabia, and how his predecessor will deal with the domestic as well as foreign matters of the country.
