Le Drian returning to Lebanon 'very soon'
French special presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian is returning to Lebanon "soon".
"The country is on the brink of war," Le Drian said in an interview with France Info, stressing the presidential and governmental void.
"The Lebanese officials must overcome their rivalries and reach an agreement in order to establish a constitutional system that works,” he added. "The sense of responsibility must return to the leaders in Lebanon."
The French envoy said that he will return to Lebanon "very soon" at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron "to convey this message."
Le Drian expressed his concern over the situation in south Lebanon.
"Tensions are growing," Le Drian said, mentioning the killing of two al-mayadeen journalists in south Lebanon, as he warned of a "conflagration" if tensions continue and get out of control.
