“I participated in the government under the logic of serving one boss, which is Lebanon,” Hitti said. NassifHitti Lebanon Resignation
Lebanon’s foreign minister announced his resignation Monday in protest at the government’s mishandling of the worst economic crisis in decades that has forced Beirut to ask for IMF support.
“If they don’t unite in the interest of the Lebanese people … then the ship, God forbid, will sink with everyone on board.” Hitti’s resignation comes more than a week after France’s top diplomat Jean-Yves Le Drian during a visit scolded Lebanon’s leadership for failing to take the necessary measures to save the country from collapse.
The free-falling economy has sparked mass protests since October against a political class widely accused of being incompetent, corrupt and beholden to sectarian interests rather than a national vision.
