Reports: Doha not against Franjieh, believes solution not difficult

A Qatari envoy visiting Lebanon, Mohammed bin Abdel Aziz al-Khulaifi, has not excluded the name of Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh from the list of presidential candidates in his meetings with Lebanese officials, political sources told al-Akhbar newspaper in remarks published Tuesday.

“Credible” sources meanwhile told the al-Joumhouria daily that the Qatari visit is “not part of a Qatari initiative that is isolated from the French-Saudi efforts toward the Lebanese file.”

“The Qatari envoy stressed in his meetings that the Qatari side is confident that a breakthrough in the presidential file in Lebanon is not something difficult and that it can be achieved in a quick manner,” the sources added.
