The Egyptian ambassador to Lebanon, Alaa Musa, confirmed that the quintet committee continues its work, noting that "the opposition movement is important and can be built upon in the future." Musa emphasized that "the goal is to maintain momentum in the presidential file until the necessary groundwork is laid for a breakthrough." He also stated that "if a ceasefire is reached in Gaza, it will reflect on the presidential file, hoping for ongoing negotiations and no setbacks." He said, "The solution comes first from within and then from abroad, and the quintet committee sees that agreement among political blocs is the only way to reach a solution in the presidential file." He added, "The continuation of the vacuum will have severe and difficult repercussions that will be borne solely by the Lebanese interior."
