Lebanon’s political crisis worsened Sunday with the outgoing prime minister harshly criticizing the party of the country’s president, blaming it for weeks of delay in forming a new Cabinet amid ongoing anti-government protests. A statement released by Saad Hariri’s office called the policies of President Michel Aoun’s party “irresponsible regarding that national crisis that they country is passing through.” Aoun has yet to call for consultations with parliamentary blocs’ leaders to name a new premier, nearly three weeks after Hariri resigned amid nationwide protests. Some major factions in Lebanon’s sectarian political system want to keep Hariri in the new government.
