A senior parliamentary source said that the overwhelming majority in the Lebanese parliament expressed its immediate approval of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri’s call to turn the parliamentary session, scheduled for next Thursday to elect a president for the republic, into a dialogue meeting, in an attempt to break the impasse that hinders the election.
In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, the source said that Berri was waiting for the reaction of the Lebanese Forces party (LF) and the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) to proceed accordingly.
