Paris Asks Washington to Let Le Drian Cast His Final Stone in Lebanese Waters

Informed sources revealed to "Nidaa Al-Watan" that "the French administration requested the American administration to have Le Drian cast his final stone in the Lebanese waters after the message from the protective quintet was received. The French envoy is preparing to test the impact of this message with Lebanese officials, hoping to break the alignments to agree on a candidate that would restore the functioning of constitutional institutions."
