Geagea Vows to Block Hezbollah and FPM’s Presidential ‘Smuggling’ Plan

Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces, stated that Lebanon’s ruling “establishment” remains firmly entrenched and unified. He described this establishment as consisting of Hezbollah, its allies, and the Free Patriotic Movement.

Despite the emerging differences among the key factions within the establishment, Geagea pointed out that these groups are once again aligning with one another. The disagreements are secondary to their primary concern: their own survival and interests.

Geagea also mentioned that the establishment is working discreetly to secure a new president, but they can no longer achieve the kind of leadership they originally desired. He noted that the political climate, both within the Arab world and internationally, is no longer in the establishment’s favor, with external parties closely monitoring their actions.

The LF leader made it clear that his party and its allies will not allow the establishment to regain its former power.
