Lebanon's prime minister-designate Saad Hariri stepped down Thursday, saying he was unable to form a government, nine months after taking up the challenge.
Hariri had been nominated for the post in October 2020, as a long-running political and economic crisis intensified following a devastating port blast in Beirut in August that killed more than 200 people and forced the previous government to resign.
