Saudi FM optimistic about a Lebanon breakthrough
Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday a compromise proposed by Lebanese opposition leader Nabih Berri offers a chance of breaking the political deadlock in Lebanon and electing a new president. ‘After the initiative announced by Mr Nabih Berri, there is cautious optimism. There is a chance,’ Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal told reporters in the Red Sea city of Jeddah. The proposal marks ‘a change from the previous position’ of the pro-Syrian opposition, ‘and this could lead to a solution,’ he said.
