Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced Wednesday he was putting his resignation on hold after meeting with the country's president, Daily Mail reported.

“I discussed my resignation with the president of the republic who asked me to wait before submitting it... and allow for more consultations,” Hariri told reporters adding “I agreed to this request.”

Hariri expressed the hope that his decision would allow for a dialogue in a serious manner that would settle disputes.

The situation in Lebanon worsened when Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced on November 4 his resignation when being in Saudi Arabia, as he feared for his life.

The leader of the Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah said that the reason for the resignation should be looked in Saudi Arabia and the Iranian Foreign Ministry called Hariri’s accusations groundless. Hassan Nasrallah also said that Riyadh hold him in Saudi Arabia against his will.

Hariri has already visited Cairo on Tuesday, where he discussed the situation in Lebanon with the President of Egypt. The politician made a brief stopover in Cyprus to meet President Nicos Anastasiades. Earlier, Hariri traveled to Paris to meet President Emmanuel Macron.
