Hariri's resignation: 'Lebanon will never be the same'

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia's State Minister for Arabian Gulf Affairs Thamer Al Sabhan said that the resignation of Saad Hariri as prime minister meant a different Lebanon.

"Lebanon following the resignation will never be the same as it was before," he posted on his Twitter account on Monday. "We will not accept that Lebanon is in any way a platform for the launching of terrorism towards our countries. It is up to its leaders to choose whether it is a state of terrorism or a state of peace," he said to his 410,000 followers on the microblogging site.

Hariri resigned on Saturday.
