Political tensions rage over the identity of the presidential candidate

It was stated in “Al-Liwaa”:

Political and parliamentary sources noted that “political tensions” are raging over the identity of the presidential candidate and the program, amid a renewed conflict between a president from a previous stage and a president from a new stage. They consider Iranian interference in Lebanese affairs unacceptable, whatever the results.

What is confirmed by its history, in addition to the presence of the ambassadors of the Five-Year Committee, is that French presidential representative Jean-Yves Le Dry will attend the president’s election session, and this is what French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot informed Speaker Berri, before he traveled to Damascus, to meet with the head of the Syrian Interim Administration, Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

With the decline in the possibility of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan coming to Beirut, and the undecided direction regarding the possibility of sending his advisor, Yazid bin Farhan, it is not yet completely clear whether the American presidential envoy, Amos Hochstein, will come, whose arrival Lebanon is eagerly awaiting, not only for the presidential sake. Rather, to protect the ceasefire that played a key role in achieving it.

Yesterday, a phone call took place between the Iranian and French Foreign Ministers, discussing the outcome of what was discussed in Lebanon, on the eve of Barrow’s departure to Damascus. The Ain al-Tineh talks included French Minister Barrot and the Papal Ambassador to Lebanon, Paolo Borgia.

According to information, President Berri discussed with Ambassador Lisa Johnson, who participated in the meeting with the Chairman of the Ceasefire Monitoring Committee, American General Jansper Jeffers, the presidential file in light of Hochstein’s arrival to Beirut.
