Lebanese Kataeb Leader Amine Gemayel noted that the country is paying the price for what is taking place in Syria and Iraq, noting that Lebanon is not going through a regime crisis, but suffering the repercussions of the regional turmoil.

As for the party’s stance on the parliamentary term extension, Gemayel stated that the country is currently surviving without a new parliament or a president, hence their rejection of the said extension, calling for the election of a new head of state followed by a parliamentary vote.
