On Saturday, Hariri resigned from his post, expressing fear that he could be assassinated like his father, and accusing Iran of attempts to bright destruction throughout the region.
"The resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri and his remarks are a wake-up call to the international community to take action against the Iranian aggression that is trying to turn Syria into a second Lebanon. This aggression endangers not only Israel but the entire Middle East. The international community needs to unite and confront this aggression," Netanyahu said in a statement published on Twitter late on Saturday.
Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Bahram Qassemi, responding in a statement to the allegations voiced by Hariri against Tehran, called the Lebanese Prime Minister's resignation a "a new scenario for creating tension in Lebanon and the region."
