Ahmed Abu al-Ghaiz, secretary general of the Arab League, reacted to the resignation of Saad Hariri from the new Lebanese cabinet. “I am disappointed with Saad al-Hariri’s decision,” he said.
According to the report, Abu al-Ghaiz added: “The consequences of Saad al-Hariri ousting the formation of a new Lebanese cabinet could be dangerous for the future of the situation in this country.” For now, the international community must be committed to helping Lebanon.
Earlier, the Lebanese presidency issued a statement in response to Saad al-Hariri’s resignation, stressing that he was not prepared to consider making changes (to the cabinet’s proposed list).
The statement added: “The incumbent Prime Minister’s disagreement with the President reflects the fact that he has already decided to resign. A statement from Baabda Palace said the Lebanese president would soon set a date for talks with the Lebanese parliament to resolve the current challenge in the country.
It is worth mentioning that Saad Al-Hariri, who was appointed to form the Lebanese cabinet, resigned from his mission yesterday. “I met with President Michel Aoun, and we both discussed the formation of a cabinet,” he told a news conference.
He added: “In the talks, amendments were made about the proposed list for forming a cabinet.” But obviously there was no change in position and I could not agree with Michel Aoun because he had suggestions about the structure of the cabinet that I could not accept.
It is worth mentioning that Lebanon has entered a political crisis after the explosion of the port of Beirut. The country witnessed a terrible explosion in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020; The blast killed at least 190 people and injured 6,500.
