Le Drian to take next step after talks with KSA, 5-nation group
No new developments are expected in the presidential file before the return of French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian to Beirut next month, a media report said.
“He will specify the nature of his next steps in light of consultations between Paris and Riyadh in particular and within the five-nation, international-Arab group in general,” al-Joumhouria newspaper said.
Informed sources meanwhile told the daily that “Le Drian’s second visit is supposed to be decisive, because this time it will not be exploratory but rather executive, which means that the French envoy will move from the phase of listening to the phase of suggesting, based on the conclusions that he will draw from his meetings with the political leaders and the consultations with Riyadh and Doha.”
Other sources told the newspaper that Le Drian would discuss with the officials in Saudi Arabia and Qatar the outcome of his consultations in Lebanon and the results of the meetings that he held with the Lebanese parties.
“He will explore the possibility of carrying out any step that would help reconcile viewpoints between the Lebanese, especially that officials from the two states (KSA and Qatar) have pledged to discuss the situation with Iranian officials, amid reports that a Qatari delegation is currently visiting the Iranian capital,” the sources added.

If Erdogan wants to officially divide Cypress, no one should claim Lebanon too small to be divided. Our population is greater than Denmark & Norway & tiny nations like Lichtenstein are most prosperous. Last elections left no doubt there are 2 distinct Lebanons with nothing in common, contradictory hopes and aims. Combined in unnatural union cause pain and misery to everyone, whereas independent will bring happiness and prosperity. Over half Shia voted for Iranian model, worship Nassrallah and his self-governing institutions. They deserve own nation with all elected offices, own army and Islamic laws. On the other hand, there is common destiny and organic unbreakable link between Christians & Druze. Now eternally joined to Sunnis and free Shia through Rafiq’s blood and Cedar Revolution principles; a shared history of freedom and democracy. Stop pretending we are one nation. A peaceful division like Czechoslovakia helps both sides live to their full potential.
