Lebanon PM confirms he will return to Beirut on Wednesday

PARIS: Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri showed he's going to go back to Beirut in time for Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday, as political turmoil rocks his country following his resignation announcement in Saudi Arabia.


"I will return to Beirut in the coming days," Hariri stated after disaster talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.


"I will participate in the celebrations for our independence and it is there that I will make known my position on all the issues after meeting with the president of our republic, general Michel Aoun."


Aoun -- who has refused to accept Hariri's resignation while he stays abroad -- had stated earlier as of late that the premier would go back in time for Independence Day.


Hariri arrived in Paris as of late on the invitation of Macron, who is attempting to lend a hand broker a solution to a political disaster that has raised fears over Lebanon's fragile democracy.
