Al-Madinah News:-The United Nations Special Coordinator in Lebanon, Yana Frontska, expressed concern about the potential for the void and the worsening of the security situation as Lebanon entered the presidential vacuum following the end of Michel Aoun’s six-year presidency. This is especially true given that the country is still feeling the effects of the long-lasting social, economic, and financial crisis.
She emphasised in speeches that “a swift election of a new president and the establishment of a government are required to cope with these awful difficulties.
Furthermore, it believed that “the agreement to demarcate the maritime borders concluded between Lebanon and Israel showed how historical accomplishments could be achieved when the leaders of Lebanon unite to achieve a common goal, so it expressed its hope that they would find the courage, intention, and goodwill to elect a new president successfully.
“urgent actions
The need for “immediate actions by all responsible to put the interest of the country and its population before political and personal agendas, bypassing divides, and finding a solution that can help save Lebanon” was also emphasised by the speaker.
”
The Lebanese people anticipate that their leaders will respond to the issues the nation is facing with a stronger sense of urgency and responsibility.
This is required to restore people’s faith in themselves and their nation’s future, “According to Al Arabiya.net, she stated.
The UN coordinator stated in response to the Speaker of Parliament’s invitation to a dialogue session to elect a president that “invitations to conversation can lead to beneficial results.”
She also mentioned that “In order to prevent polarisation, miscommunication, and escalating tensions, conversation is equally essential.
“Every effort should be taken to prevent further time wastage, she stated.
The United Nations is constantly prepared to offer assistance, but it cannot replace the state or resolve itself the sovereign privileges that belong to the Lebanese state. This is why the solution from the inside is considered to be the only way for “sustainable solutions to come from within Lebanon.”

Fear of a decline in security
Additionally, she expressed her concern that things would get worse before they got better, stating that “every day we witness the deterioration of the Lebanese basic services, which raises the level of security deterioration.” ”
“The political will and decision -making process is now required to change this wave and move forward in implementing the reforms that can put Lebanon on the path of recovery,” she said.
It is noteworthy that Lebanon had its third presidential vacuum since the Taif Agreement as of midnight on Monday due to the political class’ failure to fulfil this obligation within the legal time frame.
But this void comes this time on the impact of an economic crisis classified by the World Bank among the three worst crises in the world, as the lira collapsed against the dollar, which reflected a deterioration at all levels, social, educational and health.
