the daily noted that al-Rahi's positions on Syria were not positively received by French officials, with Sarkozy informing him during their Monday meeting that the Syrian regime is coming to an end.

The patriarch had stated on Wednesday: "Assad must be given a chance because he is implementing reforms in Syria."

An Nahar also reported that al-Rahi's talks in La Belle France addressed Hizbullah and the Lebanese government.
