Geagea: Govt. Seems to Have Forgotten that There are Three Other Borders to Demarcate

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea noted on Thursday that the Lebanese government is doing all it can to demarcate the Lebanese-Israeli border, overlooking that fact that Lebanon is also bordered by Syria and Cyprus.

He said before a delegation of Zahle bloc MPs that the government should completely maintain the people’s interests by demarcating those borders as well and not simply direct its attention to one side “because of ideological reasons.”

The LF leader highlighted the importance of demarcating the Lebanese maritime border as it will help ensure that the people’s rights are protected.

“The government, parliament, and concerned committees must speed up the demarcation of the border in order that our exclusive economic zone be determined,” he stressed.
