Geagea Slams Response to Barrack as ‘Illegal and Unofficial'
He explained that the Prime Minister is required to convene the cabinet without delay, after having briefed the ministers on Barrack's paper, which ought to be discussed in a cabinet meeting or successive meetings with full ministerial presence to adopt the official constitutional position.
"The fate and future of the Lebanese are being determined at this very moment, and the slightest mistake or shortcoming by any of the key officials could drag the country into the abyss, or at best, to stagnation, paralysis, and a gradual regression," cautioned Geagea.
The LF Chief considered that Hezbollah, with its bravado, appears determined to inflict further losses, paralysis, and missed opportunities on the country, based on rigid ideological foundations and well-known external connections.
"The Council of Ministers, and by extension the Parliament, are called upon to shoulder their responsibilities in these critical circumstances and not waste any further opportunity, leaving the country in a state of instability and uncertainty until further notice," Geagea concluded.

'It showed flexibility over the issue of its disarmament before backpedaling and beginning to talk about a bad management of the negotiations with the U.S. prior to reaching the (November) ceasefire agreement,' MTV added. 'Iranian figures visited Lebanon last week and met with officials from Hezbollah with the aim of preventing it from taking any step leading to the handover of its heavy arms,' the TV network said. 'Hezbollah is this way linking the fate of its arms, again, to the Iranian-American negotiations that might be resumed this weekend,' MTV added.
