Bassil Accuses Geagea of Implementing 'Foreign Agenda', Seeking 'Civil War'
Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil on Tuesday commented on ex-PM Saad Hariri’s decision to withdraw from political life as he slammed Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea as being “obsessed with war.”
“Someone has chosen to be sanctioned (by the U.S.) to prevent civil war and someone has agreed to withdraw in order not to allow civil war,” Bassil tweeted, referring to himself and to Hariri.
“But there is someone who is determined to fight the war, and it is not important for him if he stabs his ally in the back or if he betrays a historic reconciliation,” the FPM chief added, apparently referring to Geagea.
“What’s important for him is to implement a foreign agenda and cause strife in Lebanon. The choice is between a militiaman who is obsessed with war and a statesman who is working to prevent it,” Bassil went on to say.
