The resignation of Prime Minister Hassan Diab’s government has become “inevitable”, a Lebanese cabinet source said on Monday.
PRIME MINISTER IS EXPECTED TO RESIGN
“The prime minister intends to tender the resignation of his government,” the source told Anadolu Agency on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Lebanese Minister of Communications and Information Technology Talal Hawat and Minister of Displaced Ghada Chreim also said in cabinet meeting that the government’s resignation has become “inevitable.”
“If the government did not resign, I will,” Hawat said.
On Sunday, Information Minister Manal Abdel-Samad and Environment Minister Damianos Kattar stepped down. Six lawmakers have also resigned from the 128-member parliament in protest over the blasts.
