He added that no information regarding the political processes related to the Lebanese judiciary can be disclosed, adding that there will be no favoritism towards one party against another because that would be "counterproductive to our efforts at reconciliation between the Lebanese parties."

It is noteworthy that after the explosion, Lebanese President Michel Aoun asked his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, to provide Lebanon with French satellite images that document moments of the Beirut Port explosion. 

Moreover, Former Prime Minister Hassan Diab also announced that he had asked French President Emmanuel Macron for satellite images of the port "before, during and after the explosion."

A similar request was also sent to Italy, adding, "They should have provided us with it, but this did not happen, and I don't know why."

The Beirut port explosion on August 4th killed 203 people and injured more than 6,500. It also caused severe damage to a number of the capital's neighborhoods.
