(CNN) Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri will fly to Paris "in the coming days," a spokeswoman for the French presidency said Wednesday, after days of speculation that Hariri was being held against his will in Saudi Arabia.

The Elysee Palace's statement came shortly after it said French President Emmanuel Macron invited Hariri to France after a conversation between Macron, Hariri and Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The announcement is one of the latest developments following Hariri's resignation in mysterious circumstances earlier this month while he was visiting Saudi Arabia.

Hariri announced he was quitting his post in a televised address from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on November 4, saying his life was in danger. He has not been back to Lebanon since, fueling speculation he was being held in Saudi Arabia against his will.
