Change and Reform Slams Geagea, March 14, Says 'Terrorists Plotting Military Act'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Change and Reform parliamentary bloc on Tuesday strongly criticized the stances of March 14's general secretariat and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on the recent clashes in Brital, warning that “the terrorists could be plotting a new military operation.”
“We are now facing two 'forbidden things' -- it is forbidden to respond against terrorism outside Lebanon to fend off the threats and it is forbidden to respond from inside Lebanon,” the bloc said sarcastically in a statement issued after its weekly meeting, referring to Hizbullah's intervention in Syria and its latest battle against jihadist militants in the outskirts of the Bekaa border town of Brital.
“The general secretariat (of March 14) has mobilized to defend you,” the bloc added, ridiculing the general secretariat's statement on the border incident.
The statement, which was recited by former minister Salim Jreissati, warned that “the raids and attacks on the outskirts of Younine and Brital were followed by clashes in Nahle's mountains today and the terrorists could be plotting a new military operation.”
“We will never give up Lebanon's elements of strength,” the bloc underlined.
“The repetitive remarks about (U.N. Security Council) Resolution 1701 indicate total ignorance of the aforementioned resolution,” it said, referring to remarks by Geagea and March 14's general-secretariat.
The LF leader has said that the clashes must push the government to “take a binding decision on Hizbullah's withdrawal from Syria,” reiterating his call for a “joint command and control center” with the anti-Islamic State international coalition.
For its part, March 14's general secretariat noted that “border defense at the hands of Hizbullah is rejected because of Hizbullah's involvement in the ongoing fighting in Syria and because it allows other illegitimate groups to posses arms under the pretext of equality.”
Separately, the bloc said the recent Iranian grant is “an unconditional grant for the Lebanese army and the letter about it was immediately referred by the foreign minister to the competent minister.”
“UNSCR 1474 only applies to economic transactions, so should we reject the grant only because it came from Iran? Political rejection is rejected amid these circumstances which the entire world has described as dangerous,” Change and Reform pointed out.
Turning to the issue of the Lebanese troops held hostage by al-Nusra Front and the IS, the bloc said negotiations should be conducted “with nations, not with two groups that are exploiting alleged contradictions between them as well as our hesitation.”
“It is important to conduct the negotiations in a serious manner,” the bloc added.
It warned that “the takfiris are manipulating time, the families (of the troops) and the decisions, but we should set the price for the release of the troops.”
Asked about Geagea's remarks, Jreissati said “what he proposed is a war scheme and Lebanon has said its word regarding the international coalition.”
“It must involve a U.N. resolution and coordination with the Syrian state,” he added.

“It must involve a U.N. resolution and coordination with the Syrian state,” he added.
the most important thing for the FPM is coordination with the Syrian regime. But then again, Bassil said to Muallem " We understand each other thru the eyes and we do not have to meet" in obvious coordination and harmony with the syrian regime.

17 minutes ago Hizbullah official source to al-Mayadeen: The operation (in Shebaa) is a response to the collusion between the takfiri groups in Syria and the Israeli enemy.
this is shameful and blatant terrorism. This sectarian party is taking the country to war for what it believes is collusion between Israel and the so-called takfiri groups in where? IN SYRIA !!!!!!! The FPM are supporting this terrorist group and risking our futures in support of hizballah agenda in Syria.

“We will never give up Lebanon's elements of strength,” the bloc underlined.

hizbushaitan must have realized how much popularity he is loosing thus they started something against Israel! why now?
hizbushaitan knows that its battle with the Syrian extremist terrorists is just starting and they are already loosing ground.

The ONLY element of strength in Lebanon is the Lebanese army. You want Lebanon to be strong, strengthen then the Lebanese army.
I am Maronite christian. General Aoun' current politics does NOT represent Lebanon's christians neither does he represent our Arab identity.

"We are now facing two 'forbidden things' -- it is forbidden to respond against terrorism outside Lebanon to fend off the threats and it is forbidden to respond from inside Lebanon,” the bloc said sarcastically
--Lol didn't you guys agree to the Baabda Declaration, which called for all parties to stay out of foreign conflicts? And how exactly did Hezbollah fend off these threats? These threats were nonexistent before Nasrallah publicly announced he had fighters in Syria. And how are Hezbos in Halab (close to Turkey) exactly fending off threats?
“We will never give up Lebanon's elements of strength,” the bloc underlined.
--I see, so now it's your decision whether or not Hezbollah's arms are legal.

so I see, because saad went to Syria, the glorious resistance went also like any eye for any eye you mean? WAKE UP! Your sayyed said it many many times.... HA went to Syria in stages: nobody should interfere in syria, to we are not there at all, to we are defending shia border villages, to defending shrines, to finally DEFENDING the syrian regime. And you are here telling me because saad hariri send milk and blankets. LOL

Lmao the Gulf funding ISIS has nothing to do with Geagea and Hariri. They don't have enough funding to do such a thing, thus the reason for milk and blankets. And let's say Hariri was behind the milk and blankets: it still doesn't compare to Hezbollah sending thousands of fighters in places in Syria as far as Halab, which is some 150-200 miles north of Lebanon.
And what eagle dawn said is right. First they denied it, then they were defending Shi3a border villages, then defending Assad from the USA-Israeli-takfiri scheme.

Asked about Geagea's remarks, Jreissati said “what he proposed is a war scheme and Lebanon has said its word regarding the international coalition.”

Opportunists (aounis) should understand that defending Lebanon starts by "ELECTING a PRESIDENT". Stop taking advantage by talking and address the main issue.

ft,
Is SSNP a credible NATIONAL LEBANESE movement? I would rather see an SSNP leave for money than a die hard SSNP who is bent on extinction of Lebanon.

Let me get this straight you dumb face. So you expected the Syrian to sit and watch hizbollah fighting in Syrian without them coming to Lebanon to retaliate?
Today, we do not hear about the Mossad anymore it's all about the extremists of da3esh now and the resistance is always right dragging the damn country with the wind.

Some lebanese still don't see the danger that was, is and will be threatening us. What they refuse to see is that Hezbollah or no Hezbollah, the terrorists will try to take over a big part of Lebanon to complete their califate. Samir Geagea has always played the americo/israeli side, even though it is at the detriment of Lebanon's survival. He is out of pace with his own people who are now looking to the Hezb to arm them, train them and work with them. Wake up 'some' Lebanese.
