Gemayel: Hezbollah's performance is divisive, we won't liberate Lebanon unless we unite

Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel has said that Hezbollah is not willing to discuss the possibility of electing a “third” presidential candidate other than Suleiman Franjieh and Jihad Azour.

“They are still clinging to Franjieh,” Gemayel said in an interview on Tele Liban.

“Until now, Hezbollah is not willing to elect a president and meet us half way,” he added.

“It’s about time everyone acknowledged that Lebanon is hijacked by Hezbollah, which is blocking reforms and dragging us into a war,” Gemayel went on to say.

“Everyone must realize that we will not exit the vortex and Hezbollah’s domination without a confrontation, and this requires bringing the forces together. We should not resort to a sectarian approach to liberate the country, but rather to a patriotic one,” the Kataeb leader added.

Describing Hezbollah’s performance as “divisive and leading to segregating the Lebanese,” Gemayel said “we won’t liberate Lebanon unless we unite.”
