Equally baseless is the notion that Ahmad al-Sharaa, regardless of his background and representation, serves as a guarantee for the Christians of Syria and Lebanon.

It resorts to manipulation and counts on the very short memory of certain Lebanese who still see it as a protective shield because they do not want to – or dare not – face reality.
