More than two weeks ago, Hariri resigned, stating that he felt his life threatened by Hezbollah, an armed group that also boasts members in parliament, and which is an ally of Iran. The premier, who was in Riyadh at the time of the announcement, remained in the Saudi Kingdom, suspecting pressure from the monarchy.
