Geagea Says 'No Hostility' with Hizbullah, Rules Out Return to 1960 Law
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has noted that there is no “hostility” between his party and Hizbullah, while stressing that there will be no return to the 1960 electoral law.
“We are witnessing a positive atmosphere in the media but we do not know if it will carry anything serious, seeing as there is no dialogue until the moment with Hizbullah,” Geagea said in an interview with the LF's website and al-Massira magazine.
“We are awaiting the groundwork for the launch of such a dialogue according to a roadmap that would have a clear timeframe aimed at pushing for the rise of a real State in Lebanon,” Geagea added.
“This common groundwork has not been found until the moment, knowing that there is no animosity or hostility but rather contrasting viewpoints over the rise of the State in Lebanon,” the LF leader went on to say.
“Should a work paper be proposed for such a dialogue, we will discuss it,” he added.
Turning to the issue of the electoral law, Geagea noted that the upcoming parliamentary elections “will greatly contribute to improving Christian representation.”
He also emphasized that “there certainly will not be a return to the 1960 law.”

for me, Geagea has been the biggest disappointment of all even more than Hariri. His hunger for power and for his piece of the cake have completely blinded him and he is being illogical and inconsistent with all his previous stances.

Geagea wants to be president one day. He knows he cannot be without hezbollah's approval. I would not be surprised if this was not part of his agreement with Aoun that led to Geagea's endorsement of Aoun for the presidency.

I'm beginning to have some respect for the irrelevant and insignificant dactor for wanting dialogue in order to become relevant and significant.

Sure doc there is none from you; but they are hostile to any and every one who dares to disagree with them. It's the nature of the beast, it's in their DNA.

23 minutes ago President Michel Aoun announced that the Saudi military grant is still "on the table" and that it is being discussed by the two countries' competent ministers.
Does "still on the table" mean it was a ghost grant at some other time, that it was a joke at other times, a bluff at some other other time?
Poor flamethrower/mowaten!

A piece of toilet paper can rest on the table until you find out what it is, no?

A few days ago, Geagea sent minister Bou Assi (on his behalf) to the iranian embassy to offer condolences on the occasion of the death of rafsanjani.

@janoubi,
If it wasn't the LF, GMA couldn't had been president today.
It was Samir Geagea who "flipped" the whole game and convinced Hariri and Jumblatt to vote for Michel Aoun and hizbullah was left with no choice but to elect him after 3 years of chaos, you know that very well.
Please remember me in 2018 when you'll need the LF & FPM Approval to elect Nabih Berri again
Cheers

believe me, Berri is the last person I want to see as Speaker.
My respect for Dactor Geagea is increasing exponentially for his concerns on the policy statement, for not having hostility with Hezbollah, for remembering the martyrs of M14 whom he accused Hezbollah of assassinating, and for stating the Cedar revolution lives on.
