Kataeb Party leader and MP Sami Gemayel condemned Hezbollah for the extensive damage inflicted on Lebanon due to its decision to open the southern front against Israel in support of Gaza.
“The damage befallen Lebanon is enough to condemn Hezbollah for opening the southern front in support of Gaza without the consent of the Lebanese people or the Parliament,” wrote Gemayel on his X account on Monday.
Gemayel further elaborated that while the current escalation is unlikely to lead to a full-scale war, both sides are taking significant risks.
“The escalation will not lead to an open war, as the Israelis do not want to enter a major war in Lebanon and Hezbollah does not want a comprehensive war with Israel. But everyone is playing with fire today,” he noted.
Gemayel highlighted the extensive toll of the war on Lebanon, including the hundreds of lives lost, the destruction of thousands of housing units, and the negative impact on the country’s economy and tourism.
On another note, regarding Lebanon’s presidential situation, Gemayel stated that his party was “trying to fulfill its duties in this matter.”
“We know that Hezbollah does not want a president because it does not want another interlocutor in light of this battle,” he concluded.
