Beirut: Arab League chief Amr Moussa is holding talks in Beirut this week to discuss ways to end Lebanon's political crisis, political sources said on Tuesday.

Moussa is expected to meet Lebanon's senior officials from rival political camps whose differences have resulted in Lebanon being without a president since November.

Lebanon's parliament will try to elect Army General Michel Suleiman as president on May 13 in what would be the 19th attempt to choose a president.

Moussa will push for the election of Suleiman, the formation of a national unity government and a new law for the 2009 general election.

Rival camps agree on Suleiman but differ on the other two issues.
