Press Digest for Monday May 26, 2014

The following are summaries of today's major stories published in the Arabic press. LBCI does not edit press digest articles for content, giving English-language readers insight into the various views expressed in newspapers across the Arab world.


“Disrupting the presidential election sessions is an unethical step,” Kataeb party leader Amin Gemayel said on Monday, adding that power vacuum takes a toll on Lebanon.

“We will undoubtedly face constitutional issues that will come as a result of the presidential void,” Gemayel said, noting that the March 14 forces have dealt “in a positive and responsible manner” in terms of this entitlement.

Gemayel also told the Kuwait-based Al-Seyassah daily that the March 14 coalition is only interested in the election of a new president, stressing that he will hold intensive contacts for this purpose.




Sources close to the March 14 coalition told the Kuwait-based Al Anbaa newspaper that contacts are being held to organize popular movements calling for the election of a new head of state.       

The movements will also condemn the stance of Hezbollah and Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun for being “held accountable for disrupting the presidential elections,” the same sources added.
