Several members of the Lebanese community in Paris held a demonstration in front of the Panthéon, with the participation of Kataeb MP Elias Hankach, Kataeb Political Bureau member Walid Fares along with a number of political figures representing opposition parties, as well as social figures residing in France.

The main messages of the protest emphasized a ceasefire, exclusive control of arms by the Lebanese army, ending Iranian influence in Lebanon, upholding the constitution, and enforcing international resolutions, particularly 1701 and 1559, along with establishing Lebanon's neutrality.

In his speech, Kataeb MP Hankach called on all arenas in Lebanon and the diaspora to unite as one, so that together they can build the Lebanon for which they have all sacrificed and for which thousands of martyrs have given their lives.

He expressed hope that future generations would be able to dream and realize their ambitions in Lebanon, rather than being forced to emigrate, with the aspiration that every expatriate may one day return to their homeland.

Responding to recent statements by Iranian officials, Hankach said, "Your statements are rejected and should be directed to Tehran. We are not subordinates, nor are we sacrificial lambs for Iran, its leaders, or any greater power. Our loyalty is to the Cedar and Lebanon alone."

Hankach added, "Lebanon has suffered greatly, and everyone must understand that no one is greater or stronger than the State. The only arms that can protect us are those of the Lebanese army. All militias, from Hezbollah to Palestinian factions, must hand over their weapons, alongside intense pressure on Israel to halt its aggression towards Lebanon."

He continued, "The situation in Lebanon is dire, with 1.3 million displaced people forced to leave their homes, and the killing machine continues indiscriminately. It is time for an immediate ceasefire, but we refuse to accept superficial solutions. We will work towards comprehensive solutions and the establishment of a true state that respects and implements international resolutions, particularly 1701, 1559, and 1680. This includes deploying the Lebanese army along the borders and restoring political normalcy through the election of a president who represents your aspirations, especially given that Parliament has been in deadlock for a year and three months."

Hankach concluded, "We want the next gathering to take place in Beirut, and today, there is no division between Shia, Druze, Christian, or Sunni. We are all united in the battle to reclaim sovereignty and end foreign dominance."

There were also speeches by the heads of the Kataeb and Lebanese Forces Departments, as well as representatives of other Lebanese opposition parties and Lebanese associations in France.
