Report: Le Drian discussed three points with Hezbollah
French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian discussed “three points” with Hezbollah during his visit last week to Lebanon, sources close to the Shiite Duo said.
Below are the three points as reported Monday by al-Liwaa newspaper:
“1. What are the chances of the Franjieh-Salam initiative after the June 14 session and what are the means and ideas that Hezbollah possesses and can present to boost the success chances of this initiative?
2. How ready is Hezbollah to take part in inter-Lebanese dialogue with an agenda consisted of a single item related to the presidential file – not in a broad dialogue in the vein of the Saint-Cloud or Doha conferences – and what are the party’s remarks over the proposed agenda and the points it wants to include?
3. Stressing France’s continued insistence on the Franjieh choice and seeking to find the appropriate chances to push forward this choice, despite Le Drian’s acknowledgement of the difficulty of the mission.”
Moreover, the sources said that Le Drian “did not propose any choices to replace Franjieh, did not raise the idea of a third candidate at all, and did not mention Army Commander Joseph Aoun.”
