A new parliamentary cabinet was formed in Lebanon on 21 January 2020, headed by Prime Minister Hassan Diab,[1][2] and agreed upon by the heads of the involved political parties.[3][4] The new head of cabinet was appointed by President Michel Aoun following the resignation of former PM Saad Hariri due to the 2019–20 Lebanese protests, also known as the October revolution.[5][6]
There were six female members, more than any previous Lebanese government.[7]
On 10 August 2020, Diab announced that the entire cabinet had resigned following anger over the explosions that took place in Beirut six days earlier.[8] It would continue in a caretaker capacity until a new government was formed.[9][10][11][12]
