Gemayel: Hezbollah must realize that its project is doomed to fail

Share:

Former Lebanese president and current Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel warned on Friday that Lebanon is facing a “great crisis” and could slide into open warfare.

Some want to establish a statelet or take over the whole country, which poses the danger of open strife, he also said during a speech given on the occasion of the 29th annual conference of his party.

“Before reaching the point of no return, Hezbollah must realize that its project is doomed to fail … We do not accept Hezbollah threatening us with its arms.”

The former president called on the Shiite group to turn over the suspects indicted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and to accept the final authority of the state over its weapons.

Gemayel added that his party is ready to work with Hezbollah as partners to draft a new a national pact.

“The Lebanese, Muslims and Christians will not allow anyone to change the identity of Lebanon.” He said

He also addressed developments in Syria, saying his party wishes that Syria followed “a democratic model instead of fostering strife.”

Over 1600 pro-democracy protesters have been killed by the Syrian security forces .

The Iranian and Syrian -backed Hezbollah brought down PM Saad Hariri’s government on January 12 over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) imminent indictment.

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon issued the indictments and arrest warrants in the assassination of Lebanon’s former PM Hariri on June 30. Two of the suspects Mustafa Badreddine and Salim Ayyash are reportedly senior members of Hezbollah and played leading roles in the assassination while the other two Hezbollah members Hassan Aneissy, also known as Hassan Issa, and Assad Sabra played a supporting role in the execution of the assassination.

Lebanon had 30 days to find and arrest the suspects but Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said on July 2 that the party would not cooperate with the tribunal.

“No Lebanese government will be able to carry out any arrests whether in 30 days, 30 years or even 300 years.”

    Narallah is so bold not willing to submit to the sovereignty of Lebanon.  Well, will the government act to stand up to tyranny or continue to be a ‘paper tiger’?

    gemayel makes several valid  points,  many times your strength becomes your weakness and  hezbollah should understand what all this is leading up to and i  am not reffering to war as that is the easiest thing to start and the hardest thing to stop, i am convinced by everyones past behaviour that behind closed doors the evidence is loud and clear who the prime suspects are  and that is why jumblatt being privy to some evidence said that if the stl was to continue lebanon is going to hell, further early  when the possibility of hizbollas involvement was first mentioned his royal doodness  said that there maybe some undiciplined members in his party that  i see as a small acknowlagement and explanation, also  you will recall from 2006 war hizbollah was  in posesion of its own unmaned drones  that also could have been the source of the videos he provided to implicate israeli drones in his damage control speech. also all the doomed  syrian and saudi intervention had to contain a (lets make this go away barter deal)  that was too lopsided for harriri to accept compromizing the integrity of the blood  issue. either way there is still the option as of now to change the stance and turn in the suspects  and let the evidence be weighed openly as there is no escaping the contents of the evidence from coming out in the open….the damage is already done. still i believe in innocence till proven guilty

     When did Allah give permission for his name to be used by a militant group?

    I prefer to call them HezbKhara.
