Gegea accuses FPM, Hezbollah of 'obstructing change'
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Thursday the so-called Axis of Defiance and the Free Patriotic Movement of obstructing change in Lebanon.
The FPM prioritizes its "narrow interests", Geagea charged, adding that the FPM members seek political and personal gains "at the expense of Lebanon's interest."
"The real problem lies in the current political class that refuses to acknowledge its mistakes and continues to repeat the same failed policies," Geagea went on to say, blaming the FPM for failing to re-evaluate their political course and their stances.
Geagea also criticized the Axis of Defiance for "implicating Lebanon in conflicts that it has nothing to do with."
Hezbollah launched attacks against Israel after the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. The group says it would only stop its attacks when a cease-fire is reached in Gaza.
Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have killed over 450 people, mostly Hezbollah fighters but also more than 80 civilians and non-combatants. On the Israeli side, 21 soldiers and 13 civilians have been killed since the war in Gaza began.
Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the tense Lebanon-Israel frontier have been displaced in the monthslong war.
