Report: Qatar's push for army chief nomination backed by US, KSA

Army Commander General Joseph Aoun has once again become “one of the most serious candidates” for the Lebanese presidency, especially for the main foreign nations concerned with the Lebanese file, a media report said.

According to media reports, a Qatari delegation has recently promoted Aoun’s nomination during a visit to Lebanon.

Ad-Diyar newspaper meanwhile quoted “credible sources” as saying that “the Qatari drive seems to be coordinated with Saudi Arabia and the United States.”
