Lebanese Kataeb Party leader, MP Sami Jumblatt, confirmed that they "did not provide a final answer to French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian while waiting for consultations among opposition parties, which will take place between today and tomorrow, and we will have a united response, God willing." Jumblatt stated in an interview with "Al Arabiya - Al Hadath": "If Hezbollah intends to meet the other team halfway, it should withdraw its candidate and engage in dialogue with us, and we have no problem with that." Jumblatt emphasized that "what matters to us is that the dialogue does not become a mechanism for imposing Hezbollah's will on the rest of the Lebanese."
