French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on Monday told rival Lebanese leaders they must solve the political paralysis that has prevented the election of a new president since 2014.
"A solution must be found and it is up to the Lebanese political parties to find a way to comprise," Ayrault said at the start of a two-day visit to Lebanon.
Deep divisions among the country's Christians, Sunni and Shiite Muslims and Druze leaders have sparked a political paralysis.
