Geagea: Situation in Lebanon can't wait for settlement in Gaza
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has warned that "the situation in Lebanon cannot wait for a settlement for the situation in Gaza," stressing the need for the government to "take decisive and instant measures regarding the southern front in terms of implementing Resolution 1701."
Geagea also reiterated that "activating the southern front was a major sin and not a mistake."
As for the presidential file, the LF leader underlined his full rejection of the notion that the next president will be elected by the 2026 parliament, noting that the LF is "exerting utmost effort to guarantee that the presidential election battle will not be postponed until after the upcoming parliamentary polls."
Accordingly, Geagea called on "centrist MPs" to "shoulder their responsibilities and contribute to the election of a president in an instant manner," emphasizing that "this step is the only way to exit the current crisis."
