s on Beirut's southern suburbs were a ''major scandal,'' seeing as ''eight months after the signing of the ceasefire agreement in November 2024, Beirut is being bombed again.''
''They are telling us that that happened because Israel is barbarous — We know that, but what have you done to prevent that?'' Geagea wondered, stressing that ''the solution comes through the clear regional equation and the clear international equation.''
''We need someone to endorse these equations so that we manage to solve our problems,'' the LF leader added, emphasizing that ''it it unacceptable for the Lebanese citizen to remain in danger of being bombed or killed in any given moment, whereas there is a solution.''

He also noted that ''verbal attacks'' on Israel cannot resolve Lebanon's problems.
