to reconsider its suspension of a $3 billion aid package to the Lebanese army.
In a televised speech, he indirectly called for punishing Hezbollah over a stance that expressed a deepening hostility towards Saudi Arabia.
"The Lebanese law forbids any internal party of offending brotherly Arab states," said Geagea in a reference to Hezbollah, adding that the group should be punished per the law.
Geagea's statements followed a Saudi decision on Friday to halt an aid package to the Lebanese military to buy French arms.
The surprise move prompted Leb's Prime Minister Tammam Salam to call on Saudi leaders to reconsider the decision.
"We express our deep appreciation for King Salman

bin Abdulaziz and his brothers in the Saudi leadership ... and we hope for a reconsideration of the decision to halt the aid for our army and security forces," he said in a statement.
The Saudi state news agency said earlier on Friday that Riyadh was suspending the package pledged in 2013, with an official saying it was a response to Beirut's failure to condemn attacks on the kingdom's missions in Iran.
