Gemayel warns of civil war if Hezbollah continues same policy

Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel met Thursday with Democratic Gathering bloc MP Wael Abou Faour over the presidential file.

Gemayel had said Wednesday in a televised interview that meetings with other opposition parties are in an advanced stage.

"We are meeting with all the opposition parties to discuss with them the need to prevent Hezbollah from imposing its president," Gemayel said.

"If Hezbollah continues to impose its decisions on the Lebanese, that could lead to civil war," he added. "we can't accept to be crushed."

Gemayel went on to say that this party is not Lebanese and its arms and funding are not Lebanese, and that the opposition must stop it from taking over presidency.

"The French have understood that their proposal will not work," he said.
