Kataeb Leader Samy Gemayel on Monday met with US Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea with talks featuring high on the latest development namely the presidential elections file.

“We condemn the clashes occuring inside Ain el-Helweh camp. We do not understand the reasons behind them especially since the Palestinian Authority is ready to clear all the camps from weapons," Gemayel said following the meeting.

"All Lebanese people bear the brunt of Palestinian issues, and the ongoing conflicts affect the tourist season," he noted.

Gemayel emphasized the need for all weapons to be within the boundaries of Lebanese law, stating, "We support the complete disarmament of camps and the imposition of state security within them, which necessitates a bold decision."

“Our hearts are with the people of Sidon and the Lebanese army,” he emphasized.

The Kataeb Leader held Hezbollah directly responsible for all the economic and security issues as it is preventing the election of a president and the establishment of a State that addresses problems and finds solutions.

“Everyone is waiting for a dialogue after a month, in light of the presence of the vacuum in positions, with all the consequences and repercussions it may result in,” he added.

 "How can we resolve Lebanon's problems if we lack a functioning authority? How will we tackle economic, security, and livelihood issues without a 'captain' and a sitting President and government?" he asked.

 "Why the delay until September?" he added.

He believed that some want to leave Lebanon hostage and an open arena for all kinds of conflicts and interventions without a state or reforms in a bid to be able to hold control over the country, saying that this faction is "Hezbollah which has taken Lebanon hostage."

"The responsibility lies with  House Speaker Nabih Berri, who does not call for presidential election sessions, and it also lies with the MPs who disrupt the quorum and attempt to impose Hezbollah's will on all Lebanese citizens," he concluded.

The meeting was attended by Kataeb Lawmaker Nadim Gemayel, Political Bureau Member Rachid Rahme, as well as the party’s Foreign Affairs Head Dr. Michel Abi Abdallah and the party's International Secretary Marwan Abdallah.
