MojNews- Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun on Wednesday asked the cabinet to continue in a caretaker role until a new government is formed, following the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri on Tuesday.

Hariri’s resignation toppled his coalition government. He said he had hit a “dead end” in trying to resolve a crisis unleashed by ۱۳ days of protests against the ruling elite.

Meanwhile, the banking association said Lebanese banks will resume normal operations and receive customers on Friday, ending a two-week-long closure caused by massive protests against the country&#۳۹;s ruling politicians.
"Thursday will be dedicated to internal work to complete (a backlog) of operations and to prepare to receive customers starting Friday morning," the banking association said in a statement.
