One day after the abrupt resignation of Saad Hariri as Lebanon’s prime minister, different political circles inside the country, including Hezbollah, say Saudi Arabia is behind the move to create political turmoil. Israel has welcomed Hariri’s resignation that was announced while he was in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile Iran’s foreign ministry says Sa'ad Hariri’s resignation is a scenario to create tensions in Lebanon and the wider region.
