A few days ago, Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri said after his meeting with President Michel Aoun: “We have agreed to have another meeting next Monday.” In his statement, he stressed the need to form a government as soon as possible to stop the collapse of the Lebanese pound.
For his part, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said that Lebanon is “at the heart of a real, national and important political crisis, which is a crisis of the system, the present and the future.”
Sayyed Nasrallah asked to address the situation in the country “with reason, responsibility and wisdom, away from anger and bidding because it does not lead to any results,” and explained that there are those who “work for a civil war” in Lebanon.
This tension comes at a time when several Lebanese regions are witnessing a wave of protests to reject the deterioration of living conditions and the deterioration of the exchange rate of the national currency against the US dollar, which previously touched 15 thousand pounds per dollar.
