Sources at Lebanon's presidential palace said the country's president Michel Aoun will not decide whether to accept or reject the resignation of Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri until his returns to Lebanon to explain his reasons.
Hariri left Lebanon for Saudi Arabia on Friday and resigned on Saturday in a televised statement that took the Lebanese political establishment by surprise, Middle East Eye reported.
There is no obvious successor to Hariri, and by refusing to accept his resignation Aoun is seen to be delaying political consultations on a new prime minister.
In the meantime, Western intelligence agencies warned Hariri of an assassination plot against him, the Saudi-owned pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Sunday. It cited unnamed sources close to Hariri.
However, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, head of Lebanon’s General Security, said he had no information about an assassination plot against political figures in Lebanon. The army also said it had not uncovered any such plots.
