Report: 5 nations to meet soon, Shiite Duo may give up Franjieh nomination
The five-nation group on Lebanon -- which comprises the U.S., France, KSA, Qatar and Egypt -- will meet soon to discuss the Lebanese presidential crisis and the possibility of launching new initiatives, a media report said on Sunday.
“The level of representation in the meeting might be upped,” the al-Anbaa news portal of the Progressive Socialist Party said.
Political sources meanwhile told al-Anbaa that “the Amal and Hezbollah duo might give up (Marada Movement chief Suleiman) Franjieh’s nomination to replace him with any candidate who might not be considered provocative by MP Jebran Bassil and the other Christian blocs such as the Lebanese Forces, Kataeb and others.”
“Such a figure should also enjoy Saudi acceptance,” the sources added.
