The French government postponed the international conference that was expected to be held to help Lebanon, after the failure of the political parties to form a new government, while Hezbollah asserted that the time was not ripe for a coup against the results of the parliamentary elections, and President Michel Aoun set a new date for the start of parliamentary consultations to appoint a new prime minister.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced that the second international conference to aid Lebanon after the huge explosion in the Beirut port will be held in November, not this October.

"A meeting to provide humanitarian aid to Lebanon will be held in November, in accordance with the pledges we have made," Le Drian told the National Assembly's foreign affairs committee.

On the first of September, French President Emmanuel Macron indicated during his second visit to Lebanon, after the Beirut Port bombing, that the conference would be held in October.

Le Drian explained that this conference would allow a "transition to the second stage", which is the stage of "rebuilding" the port and the affected neighborhoods in Beirut, after a first stage called "emergency".

Le Drian stressed "the necessity that this catastrophe does not obscure the current political tragedy in Lebanon," and warned again of "the disintegration of Lebanon, even its demise" if a government is not formed quickly and structural reforms are not carried out.

A first international conference for aid to Lebanon was held on the ninth of August, organized by France and the United Nations, and was able to collect pledges of 250 million euros in aid to face the repercussions of the explosion that occurred on the fourth of August.

The Lebanese President, Michel Aoun, set October 15 as the date for binding parliamentary consultations to name a new figure charged with forming the government, after the previous attempt to form an "independent" government advocated by the street and the international community failed last month.

After months of fruitless consultations following his appointment in late August, the Lebanese Prime Minister-designate, Mustafa Adib, apologized on September 26 for not forming the new government in light of differences between the parties over ministerial portfolios, and amid growing international demands for a government that implements necessary reforms to expel this country. One of the worst economic crisis he's faced in decades.

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the "betrayal" of the Lebanese political class, despite the pledges they made to him on the first of September during his second visit to Lebanon.

The time is not appropriate to change the balance of power.


On the other hand, Sheikh Naim Qassem, Deputy Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, said that the time is not ripe to amend or change the balance of power, or for what he described as a coup against the results of the parliamentary elections and the creation of formulas for a government that does not represent the parliamentary blocs.

Qassem added in a speech during a party event that the past months have proven that the only available solution is to appoint a prime minister and form the government according to the constitution and the mechanisms adopted since the Taif Agreement, and that any violation of this solution means keeping the country in a state of stagnation and deterioration, as he described.
