The Kataeb Party’s Political Bureau held its weekly meeting chaired by Kataeb Leader MP Samy Gemayel. After the meeting, the following statement was issued:

1-The Kataeb Political Bureau considered that Hezbollah’s military maneuver in the south carries a message of defiance for every person who considers exceeding its authority, saying that it wanted to prove that it is the ultimate decision-maker and that sovereign decisions are subject to its will.

It believed that Hezbollah’s armed parade and missile messages did not hit Israel, but were launched towards Beirut first and Baabda Palace second, emphasizing that it is message that the president is not able to make decisions without Hezbollah's approval, and that there is no consideration for all Lebanese who disagree with it.

The Kataeb Political Bureau noted that this play proved before the local and international lenses that there is no solution to the power of arms and it is the only way to the establish a country where everyone lives on an equal footing.

It also pointed out that if the military maneuver was intended to subjugate the Lebanese, then it only increased their conviction that no one can hold onto power without justification no matter how long it takes.

2-The Kataeb Political Bureau voiced its regret over the image of Lebanon that appeared at the Arab summit, saying that Lebanon appeared in form as a suspended state and in content as a democracy that was the source of Arab initiatives and turned into just three lines in an Arab declaration that drew the outlines of the region for years to come.  

It also blamed the system for bringing the country to this gendarmerie. 

The Kataeb Political Bureau thanked the Arab countries for their permanent support for Lebanon and its people, affirming that the main dilemma in Lebanon is not limited to electing a president and that Arab solidarity requires concern over the sovereignty of every country on its territory.

 3-It blamed the current ruling system for its tortuous path with all its components to evade handling the file of Banque du Liban Govenor after the issuance of an arrest warrant against him from the International Police Organization "Interpol".

The Kataeb Political Bureau believed that the ruling system sought to hide its financial crimes that it has committed against the Lebanese, jointly and in solidarity with BDL Governor , calling for his immediate dismissal and transfer to trial.

 4- The Kataeb Political Bureau reiterated its rejection over the backwardness of extremist and outlaw groups in Sidon, saying that those people allowed themselves to attack the Lebanese and confiscate their freedom under the pretext of wearing a swimsuit at a time when Arab women have reached the space.
