Lebanon House Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday held talks with President Michel Aoun at Baabda palace as discussions tackled the repercussions of the controversial resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

“I am in full agreement with the president over the current crisis, and it is still early to speak of a resignation or the formation of a new cabinet.”

Hariri announced on Saturday from Riyadh his resignation as a premier in a televised address in which he appeared very tense while reading a text most probably written by a Saudi official, which raised prolific questions about the reasons behind his step.

It is worth noting that Hariri was carrying out regularly his scheduled tasks before he was summoned by the Saudi officials to urgently move to Riyadh where he shockingly announced his resignation.

Al-Manar sources stressed that President Aoun is set to start consultations with all the national political forces to take the suitable decision regarding Hariri’s resignation.
