Lebanese MP Nadim Gemayel: Hizbullah Is Reaping What It Sowed; We Will Not Solve This Crisis for Hizbullah; It Must First Surrender its Weapons - Who Forced Hizbullah to Start a War with Israel on October 8?

In an October 9, 2024, interview with LBC TV (Lebanon), Lebanese MP Nadim Gemayel of the Kataeb Party stated that Hizbullah is reaping what it has sown. He emphasized that the conflict is not between Lebanon and Israel, but rather between Hizbullah and Israel. Gemayel declared that there would be no ceasefire until Hizbullah surrenders its weapons, arguing that those weapons have failed to protect any Lebanese, Shiites, or even Hassan Nasrallah. He pointed out that no one forced Hizbullah to join the war in Syria, train the Houthis in Yemen, or initiate the war with Israel on October 8. Gemayel concluded, “We will not solve the crisis for Hizbullah, in order to solve its crisis today, Hizbullah needs to hand over its weapons.”
