Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri told his supporters on Wednesday he would stay with them, after suspending his resignation in a move that eased a major political crisis.

"I am staying with you and will continue with you...to be a line of defense for Lebanon, Lebanon's stability and Lebanon's Arabism," he said to hundreds of people gathered outside his house in central Beirut.
