Regarding the Israeli escalation, Geagea called for the Lebanese state to restore the decision of war and peace, saying that the continuation of any party outside the framework of the state in making the decision to confront will keep Lebanon in the same “infernal circle.”
He also questioned the feasibility of any ceasefire that is not part of a clear path to building the state, commenting on talk about guarantees provided by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri of Hezbollah, saying that the problem does not lie in the guarantees themselves, but rather in the continuation of the status quo, which makes the state pass through other channels to make its decisions.
Geagea warned against the Lebanese state overstepping any regional or international understandings, stressing that the international community and Arab friends cannot help Lebanon unless it has an effective state capable of taking control of matters.
