Samir Geagea, the leader of the Lebanese Forces, has expressed his willingness to find common ground on selecting a new president, but he emphasizes that this should be done through bilateral discussions.
In a statement released on Thursday, Geagea responded to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri’s comments on the critical necessity of electing a president. He asserted that such consensus should be achieved through “calm bilateral consultations” rather than what he described as a “theatrical” dialogue table.
Berri, in his remarks published in al-Joumhouria newspaper on Thursday, highlighted the urgency of electing a president. He warned about the negative consequences of further delays, stating, “A president must be elected within the next few weeks.” He also cautioned that prolonging the consensus-building process would only lead to more complications and damages.
