Berri Holds on to Hariri as Prime Minister
Speaker Nabih Berri will not let go of Saad Hariri as prime minister in the event the Mustaqbal Movement leader decided to bow out.
"In the event he apologized … I will only rename Hariri," the daily As-Safir quoted Berri as saying.
It said Hariri contacted Berri on Wednesday to convey his desire to head to Beiteddine to submit his resignation to the President.
As-Safir said Berri pleaded with Hariri to delay his decision a few days, "pending a settlement that would please everybody."
