DBAYEH, Lebanon: Tripoli MP Robert Fadel said he would announce a new initiative to break the presidential deadlock Wednesday, adding that he would consider all options, including resignation, if efforts hit a dead end and the paralysis in Parliament dragged on.

During an interview with The Daily Star at his Dbayeh office Tuesday, the independent March 14 lawmaker stressed that there was much the Lebanese people could do to pressure their leaders to end the crisis, saying it is the public who is harmed most by the ongoing political vacuum.
