The Lebanese Prime Minister-designate, Mustafa Adib, announced his resignation from his post after he was unable to form a new Lebanese government, after many differences between the various political forces regarding ministerial portfolios.
Adeeb said, "It became clear to me that the consensus for which I accepted the national mission in Lebanon no longer exists," apologizing for the formation of the new Lebanese government.
The Lebanese political forces failed to form a new government within the deadline set by French President Emmanuel Macron, due to a dispute over ministerial portfolios.
Macron visited Lebanon at the beginning of this month for the second time since the Beirut port explosion on 4 August, and stressed the need to form a government of specialists within two weeks to implement urgent reforms.
At the time, the French President warned that Lebanon was in danger of "disappearing" if it did not implement the required urgent reforms, in the midst of a stifling economic crisis, exacerbated by the explosion of the port, whose losses were estimated by international circles at no less than $ 8 billion.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun had warned that the country was heading towards "hell" if the political forces did not agree to form a government.
