France reportedly asks US that Le Drian make last-ditch attempt in Lebanon
France has asked the U.S. administration that French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian make a last-ditch attempt to break the presidential impasse in Lebanon, after Lebanese leaders received the five-nation group’s “heated” message, sources informed on the French-U.S. talks said.
“The French envoy is preparing to explore the impact of this message on Lebanese officials, hoping to break the alignments to agree on a candidate whose election would restore regularity in state institutions,” the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported.
