Report: New Proposal to End Presidential Deadlock Receives Regional, International Backing
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A new proposal aimed at ending the protracted presidential impasse is being discussed and has reportedly received the support of a number of influential foreign powers, said the daily An Nahar on Friday.
It said that the suggestion called for the election of one of the current presidential candidates for a two-year term.
During this time, a new parliamentary electoral law would be approved and the polls would then be held in order to reshuffle state institutions, reported An Nahar.
The plan has received the support of Russia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, it added.
Moscow has reportedly pledged to carry out talks with Tehran and Damascus, who will both prepare the conditions among their Lebanese allies to support the plan to elect a new president, it said.
Riyadh will meanwhile carry out contacts with Arab and international powers to garner their support, explained An Nahar.
Lebanon has been without a president since May 2014 when the term of Michel Suleiman ended without the election of a successor.
Ongoing disputes between the rival March 8 and 14 camps over a compromise candidate have thwarted the polls.

Why not elect a president whose first priority is Lebanon and the Lebanese?
Palestine first? why?

why not starting by applying taef in full especially the points that NO politicians have dared implement like building a secular state and forbidding weapons outside state rule....

taef DOES NOT allow any militias... The agreement provided for the disarmament of all national and non national militias!
but no politicians have implemented the agreement as it goes against their business....

This proposal is quite possibly the dumbest thing to ever surface. 2 years will fly like crazy, and then it will be all over again. No, let's have a proper candidate, neither Aoun, neither Geagea, Lebanon cannot bleed forever. Then why have foreigners decide for us, dumb as always this country of ours.
