Geagea urges Hezbollah to 'draw lessons' from what's happening in region
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Thursday pointed out that U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia and the political steps decided “prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the right path leading to a Palestinian state."
"After the (Axis of) Defiance advocates and those who claim to be a resistance -- through their actions, behavior and ideas -- transformed Israel into a giant in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's policy has returned Israel to its normal size,” Geagea added.
He added that he believes that "the current scene emanating from Saudi Arabia is the right path to resolving the region's problems, foremost among them the Palestinian issue."
"The time of using the Palestinian cause as a pretext and hiding behind it to control Arab capitals, overthrow regimes or replace one ruler with another is over,” Geagea said.
“May the Defiance advocates in Lebanon learn from everything that is happening in the region at the present time, cease their transgressions and surrender their weapons to the state so that we may have a real and effective state that can begin the process of development and reconstruction, and so that Lebanon may return to its former glory, not only as the Switzerland of the East, but as a shining beacon of knowledge, culture, civilization and progress in the East and West alike," he added.
