The Speaker’s Office announced the postponement of the 17th session Monday after the Lebanese political leaders failed once again to reach a political solution that would facilitate the process of electing a president.

Lebanon has been without a president since November when Emile Lahoud’s term ended. The political crisis is the worst since the country’s 1975-1990 civil war.
