Lebanese Kataeb Party leader, MP Samy Gemayel, stated, "Lebanon is bleeding, and we are going through the toughest time in its history; our country is turning into a second Gaza, while the Israeli machinery of destruction, showing blatant disregard for children and devastation."
In a press conference, Gemayel remarked, "Now is not the time for gloating or reckoning, but accountability will come after the guns fall silent; the only urgent matter today is the need to stop the war."
He continued, "No party can unilaterally decide to drag Lebanon into war, have mercy on the Lebanese people and stop this war; the Gaza war is not our war, we can support it, but not at the expense of the Lebanese people."
He added, "The lives of the Lebanese people are not a bargaining chip in anyone's hands, and this war has devastated Lebanon and is pointless because we is has not lessened the suffering of the people in Gaza."
He urged, "Stop this senseless war; the lives of Lebanese are not less valuable than those of Syrians, Iranians, or Israelis."
Gemayel called on Hezbollah to immediately halt its "support war" and hand over its weapons to the Lebanese Army, emphasizing, "It is time to choose a united path with the Lebanese people. We urge you to separate paths, stop the support war, recognize the Lebanese state and its army, adhere to international resolutions, and elect a president."
He noted, "Displaced citizens from the south are presently distributed across Lebanon, it is the responsibility of the Lebanese state to address any violations, and our hearts are with all the people." He further stated, "Israel is bombing indiscriminately, and we hold the power to stop the war and prevent Lebanon from becoming another Gaza."
Gemayel directed his remarks at Hezbollah, saying, "Those who decided to open the front must also decide to close it. You called for the unity of the arenas, but they have abandoned you. Will you continue to make sacrifices?"
