Geagea Slams Aoun, Says He Doubts Cabinet Deal will Happen Anytime Soon
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea cast doubt Thursday that a Cabinet deal will soon be announced.
"I doubt that the government will be formed soon," Geagea said following a two-hour meeting with Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir in Bkirki.
Geagea said remarks by Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on Wednesday against Sfeir were "rejected."
Aoun accused Sfeir of "protecting" those practicing corruption inside the state and asked the Patriarch if weapons have ever hurt him.
Commenting on reports that Israel navy had intercepted an arms shipment allegedly bound for Hizbullah, Aoun said: "We are free to bring weapons whether the news were right or not," said the FPM leader.
Aoun”s "remarks about the weapons are totally unacceptable," Geagea said, adding that the FPM leader "wants to be the Napoleon of Lebanon."
