Geagea to Jumblat: History does not move backward

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Monday addressed Druze chieftain Walid Jumblat by saying that “history does not move backward,” in an ongoing spat between the two leaders over the 1949 Armistice Agreement with Israel.

“There is no doubt that the Armistice Agreement was indeed the basis between the State of Lebanon and Israel. But, unfortunately, we allowed it to collapse, and we trampled it underfoot, from 1964 until today, making it seem as if it no longer exists,” Geagea wrote on X.

He added: “History does not move backward, and time waits for no one. What is important today is that we rectify our situation, instead of lamenting the past.”
