Faisal Karami Snaps Back at Geagea: Killer Has no Right to Discuss Sunni Representation
Youth and Sports Minister Faisal Karami on Thursday slammed Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, saying he is the “killer” of his uncle former Prime Minister Rashid Karami.
Geagea said during a press conference Wednesday that Shiite politics is dominating Premier Najib Miqati’s cabinet, while the Sunni majority is not included in the government and half of the country’s Christians are not represented.
Asked by reporters about the LF leader’s remark, Karami said: “We know whom we represent.”
“But what does he represent,” Karami wondered. “The killer of a prime minister does not have the right to talk about this subject.”
The minister made his remark after visiting former President Emile Lahoud.
Karami also snapped back at the March 14 forces, saying “let them be patient until the policy statement is issued. They can judge on our deeds and not words.”
The March 14 general-secretariat has accused Miqati’s cabinet of seeking to take Lebanon back to the era of Syrian hegemony and integrate the country’s institutions into Hizbullah’s statelet.
