President Emmanuel Macaron called on Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and his family to France, the French presidency said in a statement.
"After talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, French President Emmanuel Macaron invited Saad Hariri and his family to France," the Elysee Palace said in a statement.
According to an Elysee source, Saad Hariri and his family will arrive in France in the "coming days". The source did not specify the date or circumstances of the visit.
The French president met with Saudi Crown Prince Prince Mohammed bin Salman last Thursday in Riyadh during a surprise visit not previously announced, where McCron addressed the Lebanese file in the wake of the resignation of Prime Minister Hariri.
The French president met on Tuesday with Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Paris and stressed during the meeting his hope that outgoing Prime Minister Saad Hariri would be able to return quickly to his country.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun rejected Hariri's resignation and accused Saudi Arabia earlier on Wednesday of holding him as a "hostage" and calling it a "hostile act."
Saudi Arabia denies holding Hariri or forcing him to resign.
