Geagea said after meeting Arab diplomats and ambassadors in Madrid that the recent dispute in the Lebanese parliament over the Palestinians’ rights was due to “the complexities of Lebanese politics.”
He added: “No one opposes all that is needed to improve the daily life of the Palestinians’ daily life.”
Commenting on the political situation in Lebanon, Geagea said: “The relative calm in Lebanon hides many flaws, the most prominent of which is the division of power between the Lebanese state and Hezbollah,” noting that the party’s decision to use its arms lies outside the Lebanese borders.
