Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea held a telephone call on Friday on the latest developments in Lebanon, reported al-Akhbar newspaper Saturday.

It said that the talks likely focused on the government formation process and efforts to reach an agreement over a new parliamentary electoral law.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea slammed on Wednesday Hizbullah's chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, saying that the Syrian regime doesn't need the party's intervention in battles on its territories.

“The Syrian regime will collapse and you will not be able to stop history from writing itself,” Geagea said during a televised speech.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov hoped on Saturday that the unanimity on Tammam Salam's nomination would allow the premier-designate to quickly form the new government, warning against the prolongation of Syria's conflict and its repercussions on Lebanon.

“We hope that the unanimity on his nomination would reflect on the cabinet formation process and allow Salam to quickly form it,” Bogdanov told reporters in al-Msaitbeh after holding talks with the prime minister-designate.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea criticized the demands of some political factions to acquire specific portfolios in the upcoming cabinet under claims that they aim to facilitate the mission of the PM-designate Tammam Salam in lining up the government, al-Joumhouria daily said on Saturday.

“I can't understand how some political groups, blocs or persons would insist on acquiring specific portfolios, in light of the arduous living, economic and security conditions we are facing, and claim to be facilitating the mission of the PM-designate,” said the LF leader.

Lebanese Forces Leader Samir Geagea rejected any side-talk or attempt to form a cabinet of political figures, urging PM-designate Tammam Salam to discuss the thorny matter with all the factions concerned without exception, An Nahar daily quoted him as saying.

“To facilitate the mission of the PM-designate to form a new cabinet, we agreed primarily on the formation of a neutral technocrat government because its duty is to hold the elections, and to make Lebanon emerge from the dark tunnel,” stressed Geagea.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea received a phone call from Syrian Opposition leader George Sabra on Wednesday, during which both men discussed the involvement of Hizbullah fighters in Syria's conflict.

They also tackled how this issue might be reflected on the people of both countries.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea condemned on Tuesday Hizbullah's fighting in Syria alongside the Syrian regime, accusing the party of violating the Baabda Declaration that calls for Lebanon to distance itself from regional crises.

He said during a press conference: “The government must hold a session to put an immediate stop to Hizbullah's fighting in Syria.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea condemned on Monday the kidnap of Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Aleppo Youhanna Ibrahim and Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Aleppo and Iskanderun Boulos al-Yaziji, describing the incident as "an act of terrorism."

"We promise to contact Arab officials to find, as soon as possible, a solution for this issue,” Geagea told Metropolitan of Aleppo and Iskanderun Boulos al-Yazij over a phone conversation.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea revealed on Monday that his party might not continue attending the electoral subcommittee meetings, which is discussing the controversial vote law, if the rival parties failed to reach common ground.

“We might not attend anymore if things continue as they are... Some sides aren't giving a clear stance and others are maneuvering while the electoral law is going windward,” Geagea said in comments to al-Akhbar newspaper.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea renewed on Saturday the demand for the rise of a state capable of achieving stability, security, and justice for all in Lebanon.

He said: “We realize now more than ever that war does not benefit any side, which is why we seek the rise of a strong state capable of imposing its authority throughout its territories.”
