Caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri issued the following statement:

“Since I submitted my resignation 50 days ago in response to the cry of the Lebanese men and women, I have strived to meet their demands with the formation of a government made of specialists that I saw it was the only Cabinet capable of dealing with the serious social and economic crisis facing our country.

And when it appeared to me that despite my firm commitment to forming a government of specialists, the stances that have emerged in the past few days regarding the issue of my nomination are not interchangeable, I announce that I will not be a candidate to form the next government, and that I am heading tomorrow to participate in the binding parliamentary consultations on this basis, with my insistence not to be postponed under any pretext.

I called on the Future Parliamentary Bloc to meet tomorrow morning to determine its position on the issue of the nomination. "
