2013-04-24 |
[An Nahar] Lebanese Forces A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb... leader ![]() ... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ... condemned on Tuesday Hizbullah's fighting in Syria alongside the Syrian regime, accusing the party of violating the Baabda Declaration that calls for Leb to distance itself from regional crises. He said during a presser: "The government must hold a session to put an immediate stop to Hizbullah's fighting in Syria. He explained that the government, despite its caretaking role, is obligated to address the country's national interests, especially when Hizbullah's actions are threatening to drag Leb towards the Syrian crisis. Moreover, he said that Iran is employing Hizbullah in order to defend its expansionist ambitions in the region. He added: "Iran has taken a strategic decision to fight for the survival of the Syrian regime at the expense of the life of the last Hizbullah fighter." "Where is the Lebanese state's position on Hizbullah's involvement and some Lebanese calls for jihad in Syria?" he wondered. Commenting on Hizbullah demands that the fighters killed in Syria should be recognized as deaders, Geagea asked: "What about those killed in Akkar and Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... ? Who tasked the party to defend the Syrian regime and for what purpose?" |
