Lebanese President Warns Against Haste in Forming New Cabinet After Hariri's Resignation
[SPUTNIKNEWS] A new Lebanese government should be formed quickly but without rash decisions that could lead to negative ramifications, President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
said on Saturday, following the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri
...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too....
"Mr President sees that an incoming government will face a lot of challenges, which implies the need for a speedy process of its formation, but not a hasty one. Because haste in such situations could have negative consequences," the presidential press service said in a statement.

Hariri stepped down on 29 October after 13 days of protests over economic hardships. He has been asked to continue as caretaker prime minister until a new government is formed.
