Most parties reportedly agree to Le Drian's September dialogue

Most parties have in principle agreed to take part in the September dialogue that French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian has called for, highly informed sources said.

“The heads of the opposition parliamentary blocs and parties held an evaluation meeting via the Zoom application, in order to unify the stance on the French proposal,” al-Joumhouria newspaper reported.

They agreed that “what Le Drian carried turns the page on the previous phase, especially on the bargain that he had proposed under which Marada Movement chief Suleiman Franjieh would have been elected as president and ex-ambassador Nawaf Salam would have been named as premier,” opposition sources told the daily.
