Hariri Withdraws as Proposed Lebanon PM: Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Sa'ad Hariri's plans did not work. At the risk of breaking ties with Israel, he was behind his decision to form a government including Hezbollah. However, Hariri has withdrawn from his nomination after Hezbollah's rejection of Hariri's proposed 30-member cabinet list. After meeting President Michel Suleiman, Hariri said: "I declare to all Lebanese, that today, I apologized to his excellency the president about [not being able to] form the government, hoping that this decision will be in Lebanon's interest."
Now, Suleiman is consulting with lawmakers to name a new Prime Minister to form the government.
