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 13 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'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.
