Report: Foreign presidential efforts to intensify before Ramadan

Foreign efforts to break Lebanon’s presidential deadlock will intensify before the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, diplomatic sources said.

“The roadmap has become nearly ready,” the sources told al-Jadeed TV.

Ain el-Tineh visitors meanwhile told the TV network that “Speaker Nabih Berri has stressed that he supports any domestic or foreign efforts.”

“He has announced his readiness to open parliament for any consultative session or meeting,” the visitors said.

Al-Jadeed added that there is a domestic presidential initiative aimed at “accompanying the foreign efforts and finding an exit that would allow all forces to climb down the tree and that would preserve sovereignty.”

“The agenda of those behind the initiative is full of meetings with all forces in parliament, who will be invited to send representatives to a consultative meeting in parliament not chaired by anyone,” the TV network said.
