French Ambassador to Lebanon Anne Gryo called from the patriarchal edifice in Bkerke for "unifying efforts to reach a solution to the crisis in Lebanon, specifically the political crisis." Gryo emphasized during her meeting with Maronite Patriarch Bechara Al-Rahi the participation of her country in all efforts to find a consensual solution, stating, "Because today the Lebanese need tangible answers to their questions, and this is the responsibility of their political leaders." She appreciated the "constructive" role of the Patriarch in finding a solution to the crisis.
