The head of the Phalange Party, MP Sami Gemayel, confirmed after his meeting with the President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun, that official Lebanon has returned to shouldering its responsibilities before the Lebanese, noting that for the first time since 1990 we have a President of the Republic and a Prime Minister by a Lebanese decision, renewing his support for them. Gemayel stressed the need to begin implementing the government’s decisions, describing the words of Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem as a “tragedy.” He added: They ask: Where is the state? Today, the state is trying to save the country after 35 years of rule by Hezbollah and its allies.
