Jean-Yves Le Drian, the former French Foreign Minister and President Emmanuel Macron's personal representative and envoy to Lebanon, is gearing up to resume his designated mission. This article, originally published in the Arabic outlet Asharq Al-Awsat, has been translated.
His mission entails aiding the Lebanese in the selection of a president to fill the vacancy at the helm of state institutions.
According to well-informed sources in Paris speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, Le Drian is scheduled to travel to Cairo on Saturday.
There, he will hold discussions with Egyptian officials regarding the Lebanese situation on Sunday, marking the initial phase in efforts to restart the activities of the regional-international Quintet Committee after a hiatus due to the Gaza war.
International attention has been closely monitoring developments and striving for a truce or ceasefire, which has encountered obstacles up to this point.
