also said "agreement on tightening security control of the borders with Syria and confronting security threats should be reached before the formation of a national unity government". Geagea noted that a national unity government would lead to “total paralysis” of constitutional institutions if it was not preceded by a political understanding on controversial issues.He said a" national unity government including representatives of the opposition would have blocked a decision to uproot the Fatah al-Islam terrorist network." Hezbollah led opposition has declared entering the camp of Naher al Bared where Fatah al -Islam terrorists are holed in is a "red line". His warning was ridiculed by March 14 leaders as being unpatriotic.
Geagea said " until further notice we ( meaning March 14 alliance ) are the opposition not they. This is because we are the ones being assassinated starting with the attempted assassination of Marwan Hamade to Pierre Gemayel assassination and including of course Rafik Hariri. Ever since the assassination of Gibran Tueini they resigned from the cabinet , because they did not want the Hariri international tribunal. All they are interested in is paralyzing the government just like they paralyzed all our national institutions."
"We will reject any attempt by the opposition to use the current situation with Fatah al Islam to pressure the majority into accepting any deal , we did not approve in the past. I want to remind everyone that when the issue of the government of national unity was raised during the dialogue talks , I was the first one to say yes and offered general Aoun to join the cabinet," he added.
