Bou Saab on presidential initiative: Results within 10 days
Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab met Tuesday with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh, as he ends an "exploratory tour" he had initiated to discuss the presidential crisis with Lebanese leaders.
Bou Saab said he took the initiative, after parties refused dialogue, and that the first stage of his initiative ends today, and evaluation will follow.
"the aim is to break the impasse," he elaborated, stressing on the importance of domestic communication.
Also on Tuesday, Bou Saab met with Democratic Gathering bloc chief Taymour Jumblat in Clemenceau.
"The first step of the initiative has been agreed upon and accepted by everyone, and we must see a result within 10 days," Bou Saab said.
The Deputy Speaker had met with Hezbollah MP Mohammed Raad, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Kataeb leader Sami Gmayel, Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, and Tajaddod MPs Michel Mouawad and Fouad Makhzoumi.
