Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel has met at the Elysee Palace with French presidential advisor Patrick Durel.
“We did not discuss (presidential) candidates and there is a French idea that was being circulated in this regard,” Gemayel said after the talks.
“We had to clarify that should we all bow anew to Hezbollah’s conditions, this would mean that any president or premier in Lebanon would have to wait at Dahiyeh’s gates to win (Hezbollah’s) blessing before assuming their responsibility,” the Kataeb chief added.
Gemayel also revealed that he would return to Beirut with “the mentality of unifying efforts, the confrontation and the opposition in order to preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty and independence.”
