Bassil: Those who vote for LF would be voting for Daesh and Israel

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has launched a vehement verbal attack on the Lebanese Forces and its leader Samir Geagea, during an electoral rally in the Keserwan-Jbeil district.

“I’ve heard them repeatedly saying that those who vote for the FPM would be voting for Hizbullah, what a joke! In turn I tell you that those who vote for the LF would be voting for Daesh and for Israel and its regional allies,” Bassil charged.

“Samir Geagea has never ceased being a part of the Israeli scheme in Lebanon. Israel occupied our land and destroyed our country several times and Israel is, until today, still obstructing our extraction of our oil and gas. Israel aggresses against us every day in air and at sea and it has left half a million Palestinian refugees on our land,” the FPM chief added.

“Israel -- which has never wanted anything good for Lebanon and is seeking to undermine stability – once handles Geagea directly, like in the days of war, and another indirectly, like today, through its regional allies, who are giving him the money and handling him,” Bassil went on to say.
