🌲 - 🇱🇧✝️🔺️Samir Geagea: The Lebanese Forces leader described Lebanon’s situation as a long and painful “Way of the Cross,” saying the Lebanese people have endured prolonged hardship and have repeatedly tried to overcome it through resistance and perseverance.

He stressed that many chose to follow this difficult path out of faith in life and hope for a better future, despite the sacrifices involved.

He added that Lebanon is now nearing the end of this phase, expressing optimism that the country is approaching a turning point. Geagea said he sees signs of a “resurrection” at the end of the tunnel, indicating that the worst may soon be over, and concluded by stating that the coming year will be significantly better for Lebanon.

Crazy, so now since the LAF abandoned its citizens in the south how exactly are these people going to protect themselves from Hezbollah who might use their villages to attack Israel? Will they be called Zionists if they form militias to protect their villages ? Oh wait, this reminds me of an event some 40 years ago ....

Crazy how history rhymes.

PLO was replaced by Hezbollah and the Soviets by Iran, otherwise literally all other players are the same.

The decision halts a planned security withdrawal, ensuring that Rmeish and Ain Ebel remain under state authority.

The only state that's defending Christians so far is the Vatican
