Hariri met with the pope in the Vatican on Thursday, along with other Italian leaders.
“The Vatican knows very well who is and who is not obstructing the government formation process,” said Hariri, who has been unable to form a government of non-partisan specialists in Lebanon since his appointment on Oct. 22.
Pope Francis confirmed he would visit crisis-hit Lebanon but only after its fractious politicians can agree on a new government.
Hariri has been in disagreement with President Michel Aoun and his political team, the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), for months over naming Christian ministers. Aoun has insisted on having the blocking third in the government.
