The top story in all newspapers today was the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and the global reactions to the surprise decision.
Iranian papers particularly covered the remarks made by the Secretary General of the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, about Hariri’s resignation and Saudi Arabia’s role in this decision.
The recent purge in Saudi Arabia, where Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrested several high-ranking princes and officials on the pretext of fighting corruption, also received great coverage.
