Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called the president of the country the reason for the failure of negotiations on the formation of the cabinet of ministers, as a result of which the country remains without a government for more than seven months, The National news reported.

Speaking at a special parliamentary session, Hariri said he refused to form a government that would satisfy President Michel Aoun. Instead, he intends to promise to form a cabinet that can stop the country's economic collapse.

Hariri stressed that President Aoun's letter to parliament was an attempt to withdraw his candidacy as prime minister. He said this political attack was the result of his refusal to comply with Aoun's demands on the composition of the new administration.

Lebanon has been without a government for seven months as Hariri fails to secure a cabinet, a Special Session of Parliament has been called to discuss a letter of complaint from President Michel Aoun regarding the deadlock in negotiations to form a government.
