Report: Presidential vote may not take place before US elections

Lebanon’s presidential vote may not take place anytime soon, a media report said on Friday.

“Western diplomats expect that there will not be a breakthrough prior to the U.S. (presidential) election, which will take place in around a year,” ad-Diyar newspaper reported.

“The U.S. administration is preoccupied with the domestic battles and is focused on making a sole achievement in the region: Saudi-Israeli normalization,” the daily quoted the diplomats as saying.
