BEIRUT: French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian stressed during his meetings with Lebanese officials on Thursday that “the French initiative to solve the crisis in forming the Lebanese government is still in force and the responsibility for implementing it rests with the Lebanese.”
Arab News has learned that Le Drian also hinted that sanctions might be imposed against those who obstruct the formation of the new government.
On the eve of his arrival in Beirut, Le Drian tweeted that he would deliver “a strongly worded message to political officials and a message expressing our full solidarity with the Lebanese people. We will deal firmly with those who obstruct the formation of the government, and we have taken national measures, and this is only the beginning.”

For anyone believing the formation of a new Lebanese government hinged on Emmanuel Macron’s planned visit to Beirut next week, his Covid-19 contraction was a bad diagnosis for Lebanon, not just for the French president.
But in truth, observers say, political wrangling over government formation was set to rumble on indefinitely, regardless of Macron s in-person cajoling.
Next week was slated to be the president s third visit since the 4 August explosion in Beirut s port, which tore through the capital and precipitated the resignation of Prime Minister Hassan Diab and a call for widespread reform.
