Kaag: Lebanese Politicians Responsible for Situation, U.N. Following Up on Presidential Deadlock
U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Sigrid Kaag emphasized that the Lebanese officials are primarily accountable for the political and economic situation, stressing that the long-term relations with regional countries might play a positive role in several pressing issues.
“The primary responsibility lies on the Lebanese officials whether regarding the political or economic situations,” said Kaag in an interview with Iran's News Agency IRNA on Monday.
She stressed that the “long-term relations between some Lebanese parties and neighboring countries in the region such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt and others could play a positive role in some files.”
The diplomat stressed that “the International community hopes that the presidential deadlock is resolved. The U.N. and the international support group are following up closely on the issue.”
She stressed that the delay in electing a president has “negative repercussions on the state institutions, the economic situation and the affairs of the state in general.”

Lebanese politicians are working hard to destroy the institutions and block the Lebanese from succeeding.
In fact they are participating in his failure and causing it.
The Lebanese politicians being unable to perform and protect the institutions, should all resign and let the Lebanese individual act independatly and succeed.
For this the institutions should be kept, respected and protected.
