The Hariri spectacle 101
Hariri's resignation from Riyadh in November 2017, caused a political stir across the entire region, raising speculations that he was being forcibly held in the kingdom.
In a televised interview with Future TV's Paula Yacoubian, the prime minister tried to set the record straight, reiterating that the decision was his own.
However, his statement did nothing to settle the hearts of conspiracy theorists at the time. Neither did his arrival back to Lebanon.
A day after his arrival to his home country, Hariri suspended his resignation at the request of President Michel Aoun who asked the prime minister to "put it on hold".
"Today I presented my resignation to his Excellency the president, and he asked me to temporarily suspend submitting it and to put it on hold ahead of further consultations on the reasons for it," said Hariri after meeting the president at the Baabda presidential palace, according to BBC.
Now that he's gone again, hearts are shook once more, and as always, humor is taking the front seat.
