BEIRUT: Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi announced on Friday that he had decided to “give up” his position in Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s government, which was formed on Sept. 10.
“Staying in the government has become absurd because I have been asked to resign and it is better to make way for other endeavors,” he said.
Kordahi signed his letter of resignation, a copy of which was handed to President Michel Aoun and another to Mikati.
Hezbollah and the Amal Movement have paralyzed the Cabinet’s work since Oct. 12 by preventing their ministers from attending sessions for several reasons, one of which is their objection to Kordahi resigning due to his offensive statements toward Saudi Arabia.
