Yesterday, the country was preoccupied with the meeting of the five-member group and the statement issued by it, which called for the election of a president for the republic, the initiation of reforms, and promised to help Lebanon whenever its officials decided to help themselves out of the quagmire of the expanding vacuum, and at the same time, hinted at the possibility of taking punitive measures against the obstructors, without elaborating further. of the details.

In a calm reading of the international position on Lebanon, it was remarkable that there was no practical proposal to achieve the maturity, and the emphasis was only on adherence to the constitution, which indicates that the international community lacks solutions, but the French presidential envoy, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who accompanied the five-party meeting, arrives in Lebanon soon, and he may carry it with him. More explanations.

The absence of real effectiveness from the group of five is due to a number of reasons, the first of which lies in the fact that Lebanon does not occupy a priority for the follow-up countries, and therefore the momentum is absent and the positions only deal with generalities, and the second is the absence of Iran from these talks, given that Tehran is a main party to the existing structure, and its absence It will prevent the completion of the entitlement.

Sources following up on the matter linked the position of the Five-Year Group and France’s previous positions, and considered that “the French initiative has become a de facto end unless something new arises in the future. put forward by the group of five.

In an interview with Al-Anbaa online newspaper, the sources saw that the failure to offer solutions and remedies is “an opportunity for the internal Lebanese leaders to build their rights and take action, especially since the international community is able to move within a certain scope, but the final decision is up to the political leaders and the representatives in Parliament.”

Regarding the possibility of the five-nation group imposing sanctions on the obstructors, or taking punitive measures against them, the sources ruled out this issue, pointing out that several European countries threatened earlier to impose sanctions, but they did not do so, and there is no precedent that has yet occurred at this level.

The sources of the “Amal” movement indicated that “we must wait for Le Drian’s procession to arrive at the five-party meeting, to find out what additional details and messages he has in his bag that the five-party statement may not have included, including the possibility of presenting the idea of ​​dialogue.”

In an interview with the electronic newspaper “al-Anbaa”, “Amal” sources stressed that “the solution to achieving the merit lies in embarking on dialogue, an idea that Le Drian might detail in terms of how to organize this dialogue.”

In the context, press information stated that Le Drian might propose the idea of ​​dialogue headed by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, but at the same time he knows that the idea is opposed by the “Lebanese Forces” and its allies, given that Berri is a party to the presidential race.

In conclusion, the fervor did not occur in the presidential file, and the period of vacancy seems to be long because the initiatives that are proposed do not constitute actual solutions, pending the emergence of a new one who is able to move the file positively.
