 The head of the Maronite Catholic community in Lebanon said on Monday that the return of Prime Minister Saad Hariri back home from Saudi Arabia, where he recently announced his resignation, will restore normal life to the country that was shaken by his move.
Cardinal Bechara El Rai told reporters before departing to Saudi Arabia that the Lebanese people have been "unsettled" since Hariri's resignation earlier this month, adding that he will raise the matter with the Saudi king and crown prince.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun welcomed Hariri's statement on Sunday that he would return to Lebanon soon. Once he returns, Aoun tweeted, "we will listen to him about all circumstances, topics and concerns that need addressing."
