“I put my resignation at the disposal of the President of the Republic”, Hariri wrote in a tweet.
Also, in a televised address today, Hariri said that he had “reached a dead end” and was going to the presidential residence in order to submit his resignation, a move that comes in the wake of demonstrations that have swept the country for almost two weeks.
He called on all Lebanese people to support the country’s stability and prevent a crisis.
According to the law, Lebanese President can accept or reject the resignation.
On October 17, the government announced tax hikes which sparked protests in the country.
