Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri says he will return home in days to formally submit his resignation. <br/><br/>In his first public remarks since he announced last week from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that he was stepping down, Hariri said if he was to rescind his resignation, the Hezbollah movement must respect Lebanon's policy of staying out of regional conflicts. <br/><br/>Hariri brushed aside rumours that he was under de facto house arrest in the kingdom. He has blamed the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement for his resignation, citing concerns over his and his family's safety. <br/><br/>Iran and Hezbollah have accused Saudi Arabia of holding Hariri hostage. But Hariri said he is free to travel as he pleased in the country. The US and UK have warned other countries not to use Lebanon for proxy conflicts.
