Gemayel Blasts Qassem's Iran Stance: “Leave Lebanon Out of It!”

Kataeb Party leader Samy Gemayel on Monday lashed out at Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem after he warned that the group would not stay neutral if Iran came under attack.

In a post on X, Gemayel delivered a blunt rebuke to Qassem’s remarks, which signaled Hezbollah’s readiness to join any regional confrontation involving Tehran.

“If you want to defend your supreme leader, go to him. If you want to commit suicide, do it on your own. Just leave Lebanon out of it!” Gemayel wrote.
