Lebanon's Saad al-Hariri is expected to leave Saudi Arabia for France within 48 hours, before flying home to Beirut to officially submit his resignation as Lebanese prime minister, a source close to Hariri told Reuters on Thursday.
Hariri announced his resignation in a televised broadcast from Saudi Arabia on November 4, and has not yet returned to Lebanon. He said on Wednesday he would return soon.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement on Wednesday that he had invited Hariri to France after speaking to him and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The invitation is to visit for a few days and is not an offer of political exile, Macron said, speaking in Germany.
Hariri is expected to go to France with his family, the source said.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun has said he will not accept Hariri's resignation until he returns to Lebanon to formally tender it and explain his reasons.
Hariri travelled to Riyadh on November 3 before abruptly resigning a day later, and he has remained in the Saudi capital since then
