The International Support Group for Lebanon recalls its statement of 5 October 2022, and notes with concern the continued lack of cooperation among Lebanese political actors that has precipitated a presidential vacuum, at a time when Lebanon most requires quick and decisive action to address its dire economic, financial and humanitarian crises.
More than ever, Lebanon needs fully functioning state institutions that can pursue comprehensive reforms with a strategic vision that generates substantive change for the public good.
The International Support Group calls on the Members of Parliament to elect, without delay, a new President of the Republic who will unite the Lebanese people in the national interest.
