Gemayel Criticizes Geagea: He Accepts Hizbullah in Cabinet but Rejects Kataeb
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Kataeb party chief Sami Gemayel lashed out at Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and accused him of planning to exclude his party from a new cabinet lineup, An Nahar daily reported on Friday.
“Geagea does not mind to be with Hizbullah in a single government, but he does not want the participation of Kataeb,” said Gemayel.
Addressing Geagea, he asked: “Did not we vote in your favor in the presidential election?”
“We have always been in the target circle, it is not the first time we find ourselves in a difficult position and amid attempts to isolate us. Let them try and the public opinion shall judge the actions of all,” he went on to say.
On the latest presidential elections, Gemeyal welcomed the election of President Michel Aoun although he believes that the decision to end the vacuum was not totally Lebanese, he said: “The Kataeb party has voted for the constants that we believe in, contrary to others who abandoned theirs.
“The circumstances that engulfed the election of Aoun were moved through a foreign settlement,” Gemayel believes, as he remarked that “the regional player which has been obstructing the country all through the presidential vacuum period is the same player that helped reach this settlement.”
“A pre-agreed settlement is what brought Aoun president, while we adhered to our consistent positions and beliefs. Bargains do not equate with constants and principles,” he said.
Stressing that Iran was the “first winner” in the presidency election, he said: “Let us be honest with ourselves...This is what (Hizbullah leader) Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah wanted and he has won. Why have not they elected Aoun before all these years? We would have saved the bloodshed of Pierre Gemayel, Gebran Tueini, Antoine Ghanem and all other martyrs since 2005 until today.”

“Geagea does not mind to be with Hizbullah in a single government, but he does not want the participation of Kataeb,” said Gemayel.
Absolutely! Geagea has been trying to sell his decision to support Aoun for president as some big strategic global showmanship when it is simply a victory for hezbollah as Sami said.
Geagea refused to participate in Salam's government because it had the iranian hezbollah in it. Now, he has no problem at all.
Kateab voted for Geagea as president when he was a candidate but he is trying to eliminate them in the present cabinet.

in the end it all comes down to a very simple choice: you can either chose to be on the losers side, or you can be on hezbollah's side. :D

I respect Mr. Mowaten because he has a simple choice: the choice of hezbollah.

Gemayel Junior should've reached for President Aoun instead of just neglecting the President Aoun as Rifi did.
Now that Aoun won, Gemayel junior wants a piece of the cake.

@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " you can either chose to be on the losers side, or you can be on hezbollah's side. :D"
Thank you for making this forum lively and vibrant.
Still laughing since January 2015.
Thank you
Yours Sincerely

Why do you think Saudi Arabia made Hariri endorse Aoun? It was their last desperate attempt to gain influence in the Lebanese parliament.

النائب زياد أسود عبر الـ LBCI:
لا يمكن لـ"الكتائب" أن تصوت ضد الرئيس عون ثم تطالبه بوزارة فالحكومة ليست نسخة طبق الأصل عن المجلس النيابي، الكل يستحق ان يكون في الحكومة لكن "فليطوّل باله علينا" سامي الجميل قليلاً.
lol, but hezbollah did not vote/nominate hariri yet they demand a share in the cabinet.

what you mentioned is untrue, as usual.
"Maronite Christian leader Michel Aoun, who is aligned with Hezbollah, stayed away but said he shared the mourners' grief. Hezbollah leaders, who have said Gemayel 's assassins sought to stir civil strife in Lebanon, were also absent."

so we are supposed to believe the flamethrowertimes of dahieh instead. I bet you were standing next to aoun when he received that phone call from gemayel's wife telling him not to attend.

Most of you idiots still view these events as revolving around Saudi vs. Iran or HA vs. FM. Geopolitics tend to be a tad bit more complicated. But what do I know... Experts like yourselves still believe you're right even when you're dead wrong. Spare yourself the frustration of feeling screwed and stop thinking of events exclusively from your narrow sectarian view.

yeah, tell them about Geopolitics. Does it mean something like this:
"incorruptible :2016-2017 will be the downfall of Saudi Arabia."

haha! flame-incorruptible and his fake accounts. Ok, we are going to give you leeway and wait until the last day of 2017 and see how your geopolitics will work.

فارس: نؤسس ائتلافا مع دول الخليج… وترامب سيراجع الاتفاقية النووية مع طهران
اعلن مستشار الرئيس الأميركي المنتخب دونالد ترامب في شؤون الشرق الأوسط والإرهاب وليد فارس، إن الحكومة الأميركية المقبلة بقيادة ترمب ستقوم بتأسيس ائتلاف مع دول الخليج ومصر والأردن ضد الإرهاب. ائتلاف عارضه باراك أوباما خلال فترته الرئاسية لإنجاح الاتفاقية النووية مع طهران، الأمر الذي سمح للميليشيات الموالية لإيران بأن يكون لها الحضور الأكبر في العراق، بحسب تصريح فارس في لقاء مع شبكة “بي بي سي نيوز BBC News” البريطانية.
