Lebanon Politician Openly Condemns Hezbollah

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

BEIRUT (Worthy News) – With Israel pounding Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, there were signs of growing discontent Monday about the Iran-backed group as a key official said it would bring disaster over the nation.

“Hezbollah has built tunnels and barriers under the watchful eyes of Lebanon’s official agencies,” noted Samir Geagea, the head of the influential Christian Lebanese Forces party.

He reportedly demanded in parliament that the government stop Hezbollah from bringing further problems to the country. “It is the state’s responsibility to tell Hezbollah—enough, your policies, your strategy, the axis of (resistance) across arenas, and alignment with Iran are bringing disaster upon Lebanon.”

Geagea was also cited by the Saudi state-owned news outlet Al Arabiya as saying, “If the Lebanese army had been on the border, Israel would not have attacked Lebanon.”

He added in separate remarks that “The state’s absence in favor of the Hezbollah mini-state, which was sucking the capabilities of the state, is no longer acceptable. We’ve seen where Hezbollah’s decisions on war and peace have taken us.”

He noted that to remediate the situation, the Lebanese government should send the military to southern Lebanon, after which United Nations Resolution 1701 should be enforced.

“I am not saying that the government should ask the army to clash with [Hezbollah], but it should start from somewhere.”

He also expressed concern that after Israel’s September elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, the “decision-making has fallen into the hands of Iran and what’s left of Hezbollah fighters, led by Iranian officers.”

Israel says it is not at war with Lebanon but with Iran’s proxies, such as Hezbollah.
