EU Says Lebanon Leaders Must Solve 'Self-Made Crisis'
The European Union on Friday called on Lebanese politicians to urgently form a new Cabinet, hours after Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri announced his resignation.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said Lebanese leaders are responsible for solving "the current domestic, self-made crisis," adding that it is urgent to form a new cabinet quickly.
He said that an agreement with the International Monetary Fund remains essential to rescue the country from financial collapse.
"Lebanon's stability and prosperity are crucial for the whole region and for Europe," Borrell added in a statement.
