Geagea Sends Macron Letter Demanding Int'l Probe into Port Blast
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Friday handed French presidential envoy Patrick Durel a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron.
The letter asks for “France’s support for the request addressed to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Gutterres for sending a fact-finding mission over the Beirut port blast in order to fulfill justice in this regard,” an LF statement said.
Durel meanwhile told Geagea that he has stressed in his meetings with Lebanese political leaders the need for forming a new government as soon as possible seeing as Lebanon is facing a “critical” situation and this might be its “last chance.”
“Should procrastination continue, Lebanon will waste the chance and no international conference for supporting Lebanon will be held,” the LF statement quoted Durel as saying.
