A knowledgeable source indicated that "there has not been any tangible positive development regarding the presidential election amid ongoing internal tensions and escalations. Paris has not yet moved to propose a new initiative to contribute to electing a president; it remains engaged in contacts and negotiations across various fronts, aiming to reach a consensual name that has both Lebanese backing and external support." According to "Al-Diyar," the prospect of a positive development soon seems unlikely, noting that the session scheduled for next Thursday will not yield any results, especially in light of the recent escalation represented by the stance of the "Lebanese Forces" and its leader, who sent a message to Nabih Berri holding him responsible for working to halt the deadlock and hinting at a potential boycott.
