In an interview with "Call 2 Face" program on the Lebanese Forces website, Kataeb Lawmaker Elias Hankach emphasized that "we still hope there will be no monopolization of any sect by any party, particularly that the Shiite duo does not monopolize Shiite representation." 

"We continue to hope that no ministerial portfolio will be exclusively linked to any sect or party, particularly the Ministry of Finance," he said.

Hankach argued that "what has ruined the country is so-called national unity governments, which, in the current political climate, have merely changed their name to 'inclusive governments' while yielding the same results. It's as if we are placing the entire parliament within the government, undermining accountability and oversight—core functions of the legislature." 

"We hope to see a Cabinet where a majority governs, while those who did not nominate the prime minister take on the role of opposition," he pointed out.

Questioning a prevailing notion, he asked, "There is this so-called principle that ministers should not be affiliated with political parties—why? Are there not honorable, competent, and successful individuals within parties?" 

"I do not believe this is an ideal way to form a government. Either we establish a government entirely independent of political representation, or we logically embrace political representation. If the Prime Minister-designate and the President of the Republic are compelled to include all parties, they should do so fairly, without obstructive conditions—particularly from the Shiite duo," he explained.

Hankach reaffirmed that it (The Kataeb) would not, under any circumstances, accept any reference to the tripartite formula of People, Army, and Resistance.

He stressed the need to support both the President and the Prime Minister-designate to ensure a strong start for the new term, emphasizing their commitment to making it one of the most successful in Lebanon’s history.

Hankach expressed his belief that the new chapter opened with the election of President Joseph Aoun would place Lebanon on a different trajectory. However, while some matters could be accepted, he made it clear that the tripartite formula was not one of them, as it had dragged the country into war and destruction.

He also rejected any attempt at rhetorical manipulation, noting that the Prime Minister-designate had been clear about adhering to the Constitution on this matter.

Commenting on the events in the South at the end of the 60-day deadline, Hankach stated that "Hezbollah" had once again led its people to destruction and death to gain leverage internally.

He described the provocative marches that took place the previous Sunday as unjustified, adding that there was nothing to celebrate in the first place.

He characterized the events as a display of "black shirts on motorcycles," but noted that Lebanon now had a functioning state.

He went on to say that those who came to celebrate in Gemmayzeh, Qasqas, or Dora did so with the intent of provoking unrest. However, he praised the awareness of the Lebanese people, as well as the vigilance of the army and internal security forces, in preventing any escalation.

"We do not want to return to a sectarian mindset. We had sacrificed everything to establish the principle that the state alone should provide protection," he stated.

"We reiterate our commitment to equality and we call on Hezbollah to hand over its weapons to the state and operate like any other political party," Hankach concluded.
