Gemayel: Confrontation is most important message
Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel has stressed that dialogue with Hezbollah would be futile as long as it “continues to insist on its candidate and on the approach of imposition, intimidation, weapons and murder.”
“Today we took a strong stance to put an end to the entire approach of Hezbollah,” Gemayel said in an interview with MTV, referring to a statement issued by the MPs of Kataeb, Lebanese Forces, Tajaddod and three independents.
“From the very first day they’ve been trying to drag us to the dialogue table, sometimes Speaker (Nabih) Berri and sometimes Hezbollah, and today the French initiative came separately, but the results might lead to the same place,” Gemayel added.
Asked whether the paper sent to parliament by French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian represents a “breach of sovereignty,” the Kataeb chief said: “Not many countries care about Lebanon, that’s why we don’t want to attack anyone, but in form the French letter was certainly not appropriate.”
“Moving to confrontation in the opposition’s statement is the most important message,” Gemayel added.
