Qataris rally support for Gen. Aoun nomination in Lebanon talks
Qatar has renewed its attempt to convince the Lebanese parties to endorse the presidential nomination of Army Commander General Joseph Aoun, several newspapers said on Saturday.
Qatari official Jassem Al-Thani has held meetings with political leaders in Lebanon in which he called on the opponents of Suleiman Franjieh's nomination to throw their support behind Aoun's candidacy, the reports said.
A settlement involving Aoun's election would enjoy the "needed Arab and international cover," Al-Thani reportedly told those he met with.
