“There is no hope in the current ruling authority, the only solution for Lebanon’s crisis begins with staging early parliamentary elections,” said Geagea.

The LF chief-Shea meeting took place in the presence of head of the economic and political department at the embassy, ​​Janet Cole, and Geagea’s advisor for foreign relations, Elie Khoury.

On the ongoing investigations into Beirut’s port blast, Geagea said “as a result of political interference, the local probe is facing a lot of difficulties,” urging for an international probe.
