Head of the Lebanese Forces Party Samir Geagea wrote on his X account:
"Sheikh Naim Qassem’s speech yesterday is unacceptable by all standards, as it constitutes a direct threat primarily to the Lebanese government, secondly to the parliamentary majority that granted this government its confidence, and to all constitutional institutions in Lebanon, foremost among them the Presidency and the Prime Minister’s office. It is also a direct threat to every free Lebanese citizen.
Sheikh Naim is very mistaken to assume that there are no longer any free Lebanese in Lebanon, and if he thinks that this way he can impose his nonexistent authority on these free Lebanese, he is also mistaken.
At this sensitive moment in Lebanon’s history, we stand united as free Lebanese, forming the majority in Lebanon behind our constitutional institutions, represented especially by the President and the Prime Minister, who are striving with all their patriotism, drive, and strength to restore Lebanon to itself, to bring the state back to order, to bring Lebanon’s friends back, and to restore the support of the international community.
The current phase is truly foundational, and we will spare no effort in supporting our constitutional institutions, standing fully behind them, and doing everything possible to prevent anyone from sabotaging this endeavor once again."
