Washington: The United States said Thursday’s resignation of Saad Hariri as Lebanon’s prime minister designate was disappointing.
“It is critical that a government committed and able to implement priority reforms be formed now,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after Hariri abandoned his efforts to form a government nine months after accepting the challenge.
