The two protagonists of the media scene in Lebanon today are the Ambassador of France in Beirut, “Anne Greu” and her American counterpart, “Dorothy Shea”.
The two ambassadors visited the Saudi capital Riyadh today to discuss the situation in Lebanon, according to a statement from the US embassy.

Together with her French and Saudi counterparts, Ambassador Shea will continue to work on shaping the three countries’ diplomatic strategy which emphasizes government formation and the inevitability of the urgent and fundamental reforms that Lebanon so desperately needs. .
These aspects of the Lebanese crisis, from humanitarian aid to government formation, will be discussed during the visit without a Lebanese presence.
The Franco-American decision sparked a great controversy.
As he has been criticized, he has also placed the Lebanese government under indictment.
Critics of the American-French decision considered that the discussion of the two ambassadors on the internal situation of Lebanon with Saudi Arabia while “bypassing” the Lebanese authorities is a “flagrant interference”.
Some have described it as a return to the “era of guardianship and mandate”.
However, in light of the protracted Lebanese crisis and Lebanon on the brink of collapse, some have not opposed the Franco-American intervention.
Indeed, some of them applauded it and expressed the hope that it would result in what the authorities of the country could not achieve, and it is they who asked for foreign aid.
Japanese Ambassador to Beirut Takeshi Okubo also expressed support for his two colleagues’ approach, which he described as “a very important task”.
As for Representative Jamil al-Sayed, he believes that there is no benefit to these or other measures, and declares: “What can Saudi Arabia and others do for Lebanon as long as the leaders Lebanese bankrupt it and impoverish its people?
The discourse in Lebanon on the political or economic situation was not without attraction between the followers and supporters of different currents and tendencies.
Some Lebanese took advantage of the visits of the two ambassadors to Riyadh to discuss the Lebanese situation in order to refute what is said about “Iran’s control of the Lebanese destiny”.
French Ambassador “reprimanded” Hassan Diab
Before the American ambassador took the stage, the name of the ambassador of France, “Anne Greu”, appeared at the top of Twitter in Lebanon, after having “berated” the acting Prime Minister in a broadcast live since. the government palace, which was cut off when criticism escalated.
Diab was talking about the situation in Lebanon, which is about to “end”.
He asked for help, saying: “I appeal to the kings, princes, presidents and leaders of brotherly and friendly countries, and I call on the United Nations and the international community to help save the Lebanese from death and to prevent the disappearance of Lebanon. “
The Ambassador replied: “This collapse is the deliberate result of mismanagement and inaction for years. It is not the result of an external blockade. This is a result for which you are all responsible … and the entire political class … and it is the truth. ”
She said “they were able, even though they were an interim government, to activate the World Bank loan.”
The conference broadcast was interrupted while the ambassador delivered her speech, and the words of the other ambassadors were not broadcast.
It seems that Ghriou’s response to Diab was also on the minds of the Lebanese who appreciated his words, which they described as “firm”.
However, others, including those who bear responsibility for the failure of Diab and his government, expressed their rejection of Ghario’s words and his method, which they saw as “outside the framework of diplomacy” and that one does not expect from an ambassador.
Many Lebanese were embarrassed by the Ambassador’s response and viewed it as “an insult to the dignity of Lebanon and the Lebanese”, and described his style as “rude” and “rude”.
Others expressed their annoyance by saying that talking about the dignity of the Lebanese in this regard is “inappropriate” and “should be linked to what the Lebanese suffer on a daily basis”.
Apart from what the “reprimand” of the French ambassador to the head of government of a country which has not been under French occupation for years raised in the hearts of the Lebanese, other tweets have called the position of the ambassador of “hypocrisy”.
They said that “his government has supported Lebanon’s rulers for years and is aware of everything that is going on.”
Some of them felt that the ambassador’s speech was incomplete and that he “ignored the responsibility of his country for what is happening in Lebanon”.
They believe that “mismanagement” is not the only cause of the Lebanese crisis, but rather the “external blockade”.
Amid all these tensions, many Lebanese today are unable to provide for a living in a country on the brink of collapse, amid a crisis described by the International Monetary Fund as the world’s worst crisis. since the 1950s.
The World Bank expects more than half of the Lebanese population to fall below the poverty line by the end of 2021.
