Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat announced Tuesday that his bloc would vote for resigned PM Saad Hariri should he be nominated anew for the premiership, as he called for appointing someone other than Jebran Bassil as foreign minister.

In remarks to LBCI television, Jumblat also called for an end to road-blocking protests as he voiced support for the right to stage demonstrations.

Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Tuesday submitted his government’s resignation to President Michel Aoun, on the 13th day of an unprecedented popular revolt against the entire political class.

“I will head to the Baabda Palace to submit the government’s resignation in response to the demands of a lot of Lebanese who took to the streets,” Hariri said in an address to the nation.

Hundreds of Hizbullah and AMAL Movement supporters, some wielding sticks, on Tuesday attacked a protest camp set up by anti-government demonstrators in downtown Beirut, burning some of its tents and dismantling others.

The violence came shortly after dozens of other Hizbullah and AMAL supporters, also wielding sticks, attacked a roadblock set up by the protesters on neighboring Ring highway, a main thoroughfare in the capital.

France has reportedly told Prime Minister Saad Hariri that a meeting scheduled in Paris to discuss the details of CEDRE decisions in Lebanon has been postponed, Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Speaker Nabih Berri reportedly said that a government change would complicate the situation further and that the current government must begin immediate steps towards reform, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors say two brothers charged with conspiring to export drone parts and technology from the U.S. to Hizbullah in Lebanon are "dangerous" and should remain in custody while they await trial, according to a court document filed Monday.

Usama and Issam Hamade are charged with conspiracy to violate U.S. export laws. Usama Hamade is also charged with smuggling. Prosecutors say that from 2009 to 2013, the Lebanese brothers repeatedly acquired sophisticated technology for drones then illegally exported them to Hizbullah, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization.

Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel on Monday called for the formation of a “neutral government of experts.”

“Only an instant resignation of the government and the formation of a neutral government of experts can restore the confidence of people and the international community in the state,” Gemayel tweeted, saying the move would “rescue the economic and monetary situations.”

Unknown assailants on Monday opened fire from an assault rifle at a protest tent in the western Bekaa town of Ghazze, the National News Agency said.

“The gunshots hit the water tank that supplies the town, which sparked panic among those present in the region,” NNA said.

Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh on Monday denied telling CNN that Lebanon’s economy will collapse in a matter of days if the protests continue while noting that a “solution” to the crisis is needed within days in order to restore confidence and avoid a collapse.

Salameh noted that a CNN headline did not accurately reflect what he said in an interview with the TV network.

A delegation from the Free Patriotic Movement-led Strong Lebanon bloc held talks Monday in Ain el-Tineh with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to “discuss the current extraordinary issues from the angle of parliament’s work,” MP Ibrahim Kanaan said.

“A lot is being said in this period about combating corruption, but combating corruption, accountability, the recovery of looted funds and the lifting of immunities are all draft laws presented by our bloc and other blocs, and I believe that the time has come,” Kanaan said.
