Strong Republic bloc MP George Okeis called Saturday on President Michel Aoun and PM Najib Mikati to "impose the resignation of Minister George Kordahi as a goodwill gesture towards Saudi Arabia," expressing his fear over the escalatory steps that it might take and its impact on Lebanon.

He considered that Hezbollah is not an “enemy” but rather an “opponent” in politics and makes Lebanon a negotiating card in the hands of Iran, pointing out that Hezbollah is in control of Lebanon and that this is a fact.
