He indicated that if this path is rejected, countries such as the United States or Saudi Arabia will interact with Lebanon in the way they deem appropriate.
"If Lebanon follows the right path, there will be greater and more interest than in past years; thus, this is the opportunity in itself," Hankach said.
"The Kataeb's position is straightforward: we are committed to supporting a candidate who can effectively lead during this pivotal time. Among the strongest contenders for this role is Army Commander General Joseph Aoun," he added.
He also noted that there are other figures, such as former Minister Jihad Azour, among others, depending on intersections with other political factions.
In an interview with Voice of Lebanon, Hankach reaffirmed that there are available options, but the strongest candidate today, considering both internal and external intersections, is General Joseph Aoun.
He pointed out that, by nature, the army commander meets the necessary specifications and enjoys the confidence of the international community, affirming that efforts are underway to secure as much consensus as possible for him.
