2024-04-06 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Bassil urges ceasefire in south even if Gaza war continues
[An Nahar] Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
chief Jebran Bassil has demanded "a ceasefire in south Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ...
" and "separating the matter from the developments of the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
."

Calling for "solidarity in this critical period that the country is going through and is witnessing an unprecedented collapse," Bassil stressed, in remarks to Kuwait’s al-Anbaa newspaper, his "support for the resistance in repelling any Israeli attack on Lebanon."

He, however, rejected "Hezbollah’s participation in Gaza’s war amid the lack of national consensus."

"It is clear that Hezbollah does not want a major war with Israel, and this is an appreciated and good stance, but it has meanwhile lost control of the decision to stop the war, leaving the matter in Israel’s hands. For the sake of whom has this happened? For the sake of Yahya al-Sinwar or for the sake of liberating Jerusalem?" Bassil wondered.

Urging the relevant countries to "help us achieve that," Bassil refused to link the presidential vote to a ceasefire in south Lebanon, emphasizing that the vote should take place regardless.

Noting that he is maintaining communication with Hezbollah "at the highest levels," Bassil revealed that he has asked Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
to support him in his endeavor to "separate the domestic Lebanese file from the war in Gaza."

He also called for an agreement on a new president "because no one can impose anything on anyone in Lebanon."
