The Lebanese Forces snapped back Saturday at the Free Patriotic Movement in a growing war of words over an expected legislative session.
“It is insolent for the FPM to rant about its usual argument, which is keenness on the presidential post,” the LF said in a statement, accusing the FPM of “deliberately ceding the presidency to the armed group,” in reference to Hezbollah, noting that the Iran-backed party was in charge of both “the state’s decisions and the presidency” during ex-president Michel Aoun’s tenure.
“Which legislation is necessary amid a collapse that is unprecedented in Lebanon’s history?” the LF asked.
It added that the FPM has undermined “the higher interests of Lebanon and the Lebanese” and “destroyed the republic.”
The LF also charged that no one can “compete with” FPM chief Jebran Bassil in “running from the al-Muhajireen Palace (in Damascus) to Haret Hreik.”
