On Monday, Lebanon's government, led by PM Hassan Diab, submitted resignation in the wake of the deadly explosion that caused a large-scale public rage against the country’s regime, with protesters and police fighting running battles in the capital for a third day.
Over the last two days, four ministers and nine MPs have also submitted their resignation due to the deadly blast that claimed the lives of more than 200 people and injured thousands, while dozens are still missing.
