Lebanese PM formally revokes resignation

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has formally revoked his resignation following a consensus deal reached with rival political parties.

The announcement came at the end of the first Cabinet meeting in Beirut on Tuesday which was held since Lebanon was thrown into a political crisis following Hariri's stunning  move on November 4.

Today's Cabinet meeting, attended by Hariri, endorsed a statement that calls on rival Lebanese groups to distance themselves from regional conflicts and the internal affairs of Arab countries.
