Lebanon on Thursday took an ambiguous stance that is in the vein of its famous “dissociation policy” towards regional conflicts, voicing support for any joint Arab action that “reassures everyone,” after Saudi warplanes bombed Shiite rebels in Yemen and sparked Iranian warnings.

“Any joint Arab action is lauded if it is based on standards that guarantee (the interests of) everyone, reassure everyone and involve everyone,” Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil said, addressing a meeting for Arab FMs in Sharm el-Sheikh.

The meeting aims to prepare for the 26th ordinary Arab Summit and had been scheduled prior to the Saudi-led strike.

Riyadh has said it assembled a coalition of more than 10 Arab and Muslim countries for the operation it dubbed "Firmness Storm."
