Lebanon caretaker PM Hariri: new gov't needed urgently to avoid collapse

BEIRUT - Lebanon needs to urgently form a new government to get out of a cycle of collapse that has repercussions for the country's economic and security situation, caretaker prime minister Saad al-Hariri tweeted on Monday.
Hariri said the country was headed to the "unknown" while obstruction has continued and the team responsible for forming a government has taken its time.
Lebanon has been without a government since Hariri resigned on Oct. 29 in the face of mass protests
