Report: Hochstein says Bayssari has no chance to become president

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has repeatedly said that General Security acting chief Brig. Gen. Elias Bayssari has “no chance” to be elected president, several prominent politicians have said, according to al-Akhbar newspaper.

“Hochstein has recently sent a message to MP Jebran Bassil through a U.S.-based Lebanese figure, asking him to think of a candidate other than Bayssari,” the daily added.
