French Delegate’s Mission in Lebanon: Seeking a Solution to the Presidential Election Stalemate

It was stated in the electronic newspaper “al-Anbaa”:

It is clear from the statements of the French delegate, Jean-Yves Le Drian, after his meetings with a number of personalities, that he does not take any initiative to move the presidential election file. The mission is only reconnaissance, and the stalemate is still the same, waiting for a breach.

In this context, political sources accompanying the movement of the French envoy saw in connection with Al-Anbaa that it is clear that the French diplomat masters the art of listening more than speaking, because he seeks to extract from the Lebanese that magic puzzle that may lead him to the common denominators for which he came in order to be able to Whoever creates a clear perception that leads him to draw up a draft settlement that might get Lebanon out of the dark tunnel, to then present it to President Emmanuel Macron, who will consult about it with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman before the French president discusses it with Iranian officials who have to put pressure on the party. God to accept it and not obstruct it. This may pave the way for a settlement similar to the Doha dialogue that led to the election of President Michel Suleiman.

The same sources ruled out entering the game of names before agreeing on the broad headlines of the settlement, because the names proposed to be agreed upon will not be announced before Le Drian extracts a promise from the main political forces to proceed with the settlement, because there is no alternative to it other than the comprehensive economic collapse and the abandonment of all of Lebanon.

For his part, former MP Anis Nassar considered that the settlement is still far away, and everyone gave his hand and the matter was over. He said, “There is an attempt to adjust the rhythm of the crisis so that it does not have negative repercussions.”

Nassar said in an interview with Al-Anbaa: “We heard that Lebanon was on the agenda of the Macron-Bin Salman summit, but nothing was nominated for this meeting except for Le Drian’s visit to Lebanon. Is this visit related to the Elysee meeting between the French President and the Crown Prince?” Saudi Arabia, or did France discover that it made a mistake against the Lebanese by proposing a Franjieh-peace equation, and today it wants to undo its mistake through Le Drian’s reconnaissance tour.

Nassar added, “Even the Saudi-Iranian agreement did not reveal anything about Lebanon. The problem in this country is that no one has the majority, and in the end the opposition must intersect with the Shiite duo and agree on the name of the army commander, General Joseph Aoun, otherwise there will be no solution.” close to Lebanon.

So Le Drian will return to Paris empty-handed, awaiting a greater international junction over Lebanon. The French alone will not produce a president for Lebanon, and other forces must be partners.
