U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has repeatedly said that General Security acting chief Brig. Gen. Elias Bayssari has “no chance” to be elected president, several prominent politicians have said, according to al-Akhbar newspaper.

“Hochstein has recently sent a message to MP Jebran Bassil through a U.S.-based Lebanese figure, asking him to think of a candidate other than Bayssari,” the daily added.

Hochstein advises Lebanon to drop its Article 24 which gives half of Parliament to Christians who are about 30% of population. Hochstein quipped, "Well, might as well give truth and justice one shot, eh?"

I’m sick and tired of foreigners, westerners meddling with our politics. Amosss Hochstein was an IOF tank commander. He’s a bloody enemy and should be detained when he lands.
