Geagea says citizens not Hezbollah priority even if they 'starved to death'

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Monday Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement of dragging Lebanon into a growing crisis.

"Hezbollah doesn't believe in a state or belong to it, yet it wants to lay hold of the state to drain it and use it to serve its project," Geagea said.

He added that the suffering of the citizens is not Hezbollah's priority as its only priority is its battle "even if the last Lebanese died of starvation."

Geagea said he will continue his peaceful and democratic struggle until the right president is elected. "During these dire conditions, acquiescence is no longer acceptable."
