The bloc underscored the importance of the French initiative aimed at finding a solution for the ongoing political crisis in Lebanon, adding that the US role which serves the ‘Israeli’ enemy’s interests deactivated it.

The bloc also urged the Lebanese officials hindering the cabinet formation to prioritize the national interests.
