Expanding Dialogue Requires a New Doha Accord
The leader of the Lebanese Forces Executive Council Samir Geagea said that it was critical that the national dialogue follow the “agenda that was previously agreed upon.”
“All disputes must be resolved within the dialogue, most importantly the issues of security and defense strategy,” Geagea said in a meeting with Lebanese Forces members from Baabda on Tuesday.
Geagea described requests for an increase in the number of representatives participating in the dialogue as “fairytale" because this would require a new Doha agreement.
Geagea also spoke out against what he characterized as efforts to impede the national dialogue.
“Some suggestions convey attempts to obstruct the dialogue such as the one released today [referring to MP Raad’s comments on Tuesday] demanding the completion of discussions over the electoral law before the national dialogue can begin.”
