Quintet ambassadors to meet at Qatar Embassy in Beirut
The ambassadors of the five-nation group - the U.S., France, Egypt, Qatar and KSA - are meeting today at the Qatari Embassy, local media reports said Thursday.
The meeting will discuss a presidential dialogue initiative by the National Moderation bloc, al-Jadeed reported, while another local report in the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper said that the quintet will adopt in a statement the bloc’s initiative.
Crisis-hit Lebanon has been without a president since Michel Aoun's term ended in October last year, with neither of the two main blocs -- Hezbollah and its opponents -- having the majority required to elect one.
The international community and the five-nation group have long urged Lebanese leaders to end months of political wrangling and stem the financial meltdown.
