Minister of Agriculture Abbas Hajj Hassan affirmed that “there is a stronger French push towards Lebanon than before, which is translated on the ground and in the various Lebanese files, and these files must be viewed positively.” In an interview with the “Liqa’ al-Ahad” program via “Voice of All Lebanon 93.3”, he said that “the margin of time had become narrow”, pointing out that the French side had come to seek opinions and listen. He added: “We, as a team, say the problem is internal, not external, and dialogue is essential in the country between the parties.” The minister stressed that “the French vision and the Lebanese reality are still when they are presented,” noting that a name for the presidency must be agreed upon. Hajj Hassan pointed out that “dialogue is the only way to reach consensus.”
