Answer

On 15 July 2021, Saad Hariri, the designated Prime Minister of Lebanon, resigned after failing to form a government for more than a year. He had been tasked with forming a government following the resignation of Hassan Diab's government in August 2020, after the devastating Beirut port explosion. Hariri's resignation is the latest in a series of political crises that have plagued Lebanon in recent years.
