The Lebanese President Michel Aoun stressed on Wednesday that Saad Hariri will stay the Prime Minister of Lebanon as he stressed that the political crisis that followed his resignation will be over within days.
“Hariri will certainly stay the prime minister of Lebanon and the political crisis will be solved in a matter of days,” said Aoun in talks to the Italian daily La Stampa.
“The crisis is behind us now. PM Saad Hariri will continue the path of leadership in Lebanon,” he added.
Turning to Hezbollah and its role in Lebanon, the President said: “Hezbollah has fought the Islamic State terrorists inside and outside Lebanon. When the war against terror ends, Hezbollah fighters will return back home.”
The daily added quoting Aoun as saying that talks between Lebanon’s political parties have been concluded and that there is broad consensus.
Aoun had arrived in Rome on Wednesday meeting the invitation of Italian President Sergio Matarella.
The two men are scheduled to hold talks at the Italian presidential palace on the Lebanese-Italian relations and means of developing them in all fields, the National News Agency said.
