Kataeb Party leader Samy Gemayel warned that Lebanon is at a “critical crossroads” during a meeting with French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian in Beirut. 

He said the country faces a stark choice; move toward peace and stability with renewed hope for the future, or pay the price for failing to assert its sovereignty.

Speaking after his meeting at the Kataeb headquarters in Saifi, Gemayel sharply criticized Hezbollah, saying the group “lacks the capacity or capability to confront Israel” and that its weapons are no longer justified.
