Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHariri has submitted his resignation to Lebanese president Michel Aoun, according to local reports.
He does not make a statement.
It is not clear if Aoun will accept his resignation.
Videos compiled by LBC TV show protesters around the country celebrating Hariri’s decision.
Meanwhile, Israelis are closely watching the Hariri resignation and how it may affect the Hezbollah terror group, a powerful figure in Lebanese politics and a potential big loser in the affair.
