Resignations

George Kurdahi, Minister of information, announced his resignation on the third of December 2021, weeks after his criticism on the Yemeni War. As a result, Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti and Yemeni diplomats withdrew from Lebanon, and the Lebanese ambassadors in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain were expelled.[10]

Aoun dispute and dissolution

President Michel Aoun signed the government's resignation decree, a day before his six-year term officially ends, and Prime Minister Najib Mikati's government remains in office in a caretaker capacity.[11] [12]
