Report: Top Lebanese officials urge Qatar to play presidential role
Senior Lebanese officials have contacted the Qatari leadership, including during caretaker PM Najib Mikati’s meetings in Davos, asking it to send Qatari envoy Jassem bin Fahad Al-Thani to Lebanon as soon as possible in order to revive the presidential election file, political sources told al-Liwaa newspaper.
Doha has sought to facilitate the presidential election file in Lebanon but its efforts stopped with the eruption of the Gaza war.
It reportedly enjoys the support of the five-nation group for Lebanon -- which comprises the U.S., France, KSA, Qatar and Egypt -- as well as most Lebanese parties in Lebanon.
