Sources close to the French foreign minister are said to have accused Prime Minister designate Saad Hariri of not supporting the French initiative in words and not in deeds. Thus, Jean-Yves le Drian should limit his next meetings in Lebanon as part of his visit on May 5 and 6, to the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, and to the Speaker of the House Nabih Berri without meeting Saad Hariri. , indicates the Saudi daily Asharq el-Awsat.
The idea would be to exclude the latter in order to put pressure on him and thus fuel the process of forming the next government, which is still at an impasse.
Jean-Yves le Drian would also carry a list of Lebanese personalities who will be sanctioned by the European Union, the United States and Great Britain. These personalities are accused of having also blocked the process of government formation and corruption.
