Frangieh after meeting Bassil: What is happening in Palestine and Gaza is a crime against humanity

Head of the Marada Movement Sleiman Frangieh affirmed on Wednesday after his meeting with the head of the Free Patriotic Movement MP Gebran Bassil, in Bnachai that "Lebanon is more important than the presidency."

"We talked about the country, and we are largely in agreement," he added after the meeting.

He also said that talks "emphasized keenness on the country," adding that the resistance has shown keenness on Lebanon.

"I cannot outbid the resistance on this matter. We do not care about Lebanon more than Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri and Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah do, and Bassil is with us. We must work to avert division."

On another note, Frangieh stressed that "what is happening in Palestine and Gaza is a crime against humanity." 

For his part, Bassil pointed out that "there is great understanding on various ideas presented on how to meet the danger of war, unify efforts, and restore order to the institutions."

"I am pleased with the visit of the head of the Marada Movement. In these circumstances, we overcome barriers, and there was a positive response to the ideas presented," he concluded by saying.
