These are Dr. Hitti’s own words:
“I took part in the government to work for one boss, Lebanon,” Hitti, a former Arab League diplomat, said in a statement. “I found multiple bosses and conflicting interests in my country, and if they don’t come together for the interest of the Lebanese people and save it, the boat will sink.”
Dr. Nassif Hitti is a highly respected Lebanese diplomat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassif_Hitti). His resignation in these “historical moments” is highly significant.

What is next for the current Lebanese government that was formed in December, 2019 (as a reminder, the country’s revolt started on October 17, 2019)?
What is next for Lebanon?
Will Dr. Hitti’s sudden resignation as Lebanon’s Foreign Minister be a wake-up call to his peers? Or is their coma a hopeless case?
At the end of the day, what will happen to that “sinking boat”?
