Lebanon in crisis this Tuesday evening adopted a new government, led by Hassan Diab, more than three months after the resignation under pressure from the street of Saad Hariri.
The list of members of the government was read by a senior official at the presidential palace in Beirut after President Michel Aoun signed the document, which was the subject of more than a month of heated negotiations.
Respond to protesters' demands
Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab has promised that his government will do everything it can to respond to the demands of the protest movement that is agitating the country and calling for a reform of the political system.
"It is a government which expresses the aspirations of the demonstrators throughout the country, mobilized for more than three months, which will work to meet their demands: independence of the justice, recovery of embezzled funds, fight against illegal enrichment", he said shortly after the announcement of the formation of his cabinet.
