BEIRUT - Lebanon’s political impasse has deepened after a tentative deal on a new prime minister unraveled, leaving the country rudderless as it grapples with the worst economic crisis since the 1975-90 civil war.
France confirmed it would host an international conference in support of Lebanon on Wednesday, saying this aimed to press Beirut to quickly form a government to restore the economic situation. “There are deep miscalculations by all political sides about how this will unfold. The old type of politics does not apply.”
Hariri has not commented since Khatib withdrew his candidacy. A political source said his position was unchanged. The French foreign ministry said Wednesday’s meeting “aims to detail the conditions required and indispensable reforms expected from the Lebanese authorities so that the international community is able to accompany Lebanon”.
