The top diplomats of the US, France and Saudi Arabia on Tuesday jointly pushed for Lebanon’s squabbling leaders to come together to address the country’s mounting crises.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held an impromptu three-way meeting on the Lebanon troubles with his Saudi and French counterparts on the sidelines of talks of the Group of 20 major economies in Matera, Italy.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.The three discussed “the need for Lebanon’s political leaders to show real leadership by implementing overdue reforms to stabilize the economy and provide the Lebanese people with much-needed relief,” Blinken wrote on Twitter.Lebanon has been without a functioning government since a massive blast in Beirut in August 2020 killed more than 200 people and ravaged swathes of the Mediterranean city.The political indecision comes amid an economic crisis that includes massive waits for fuel and a tumbling value of the Lebanese pound.The US, Saudi Arabia and France -- the former colonial power -- are key players in Lebanon, having worked together on the 1989 Taif accord that ended a bloody civil war and established a complicated agreement to split power among the country’s communities.Another major actor is Iran which supports the Shiite militant movement and political party Hezbollah.Blinken repeatedly discussed Lebanon on a week-long European tour including with Pope Francis and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who he also saw on Friday in Paris.Blinken also met separately in Italy with Saudi foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan.President Joe Biden took office pledging more distance from Saudi Arabia following Donald Trump’s chummy relationship, including by scaling back support for the kingdom’s devastating military operations in Yemen.Read more:Lebanon’s government raises fuel prices amid protests, roadblocksTurkey’s Karpowership to resume electricity supply to Lebanon in ‘goodwill gesture’
