As Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri resigned under pressure from protesters, Lebanese sources predicted on Saturday that the next government would be miniature, noting that Saad Hariri, the outgoing prime minister, remains the most likely name to re-assign him to form a government.

The sources said that the name of Saad Hariri remains the most likely and even undisputed to re-assign him to form a government, pointing out that the existing data on his mandate still indicate significant complications, and pointed out that consultations will begin today.
