No Positive Developments Expected in Lebanon before Year's End

The current week will not witness any breakthroughs in the economic, financial, political and judicial crises, a media report said on Monday.

Informed political sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper that “no significant positive developments are expected before the year’s end,” noting that “the region’s situations are still complicated and the Vienna negotiations are slow, which means that Lebanon will automatically get affected by this situation.”

The sources added that Prime Minister Najib Miqati is “trying to pass this transitional phase with the least possible losses,” noting that “the issue of his visit to Saudi Arabia is being mulled” and that “there are requirements and conditions for this visit that exceed Miqati’s ability to fulfill.”

“Miqati is seeking to prepare the appropriate groundwork for the visit, based on reconciling between the particularity of the Lebanese situation and the Lebanese demands,” the sources added.
