Jean-Yves Le Drian, the special envoy from the Élysée Palace, arrived in Beirut on Tuesday afternoon for a crucial 24-hour visit.
This visit marks an attempt to "inaugurate a new phase in the presidential process" amidst Lebanon's ongoing political deadlock.
The Lebanese presidency has been vacant since Michel Aoun’s term ended in October 2022, leading to a prolonged political crisis exacerbated by internal tensions and various national challenges.
During his brief but significant visit, Le Drian plans to meet with several key political figures.
Benjamin Netanyahu's position in the post-election battle to stay on as Israel's prime minister weakened on Thursday after an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party withheld support for any nominee and an Arab-led party endorsed his main opponent.
President Tayyip Erdogan said he believed ties between Turkey and Azerbaijan could overcome all obstacles and he would visit Baku on November 8, after tensions in recent weeks between the historic allies over regional and domestic policies.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he wanted to speak to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine, after talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday.
