BEIRUT : The Kataeb Party celebrated the 77th anniversary of its foundation during a ceremony at Beirut’s BIEL.
Speaking during the ceremony, Kataeb leader Amin Gemayel slammed Hezbollah’s role in Syria and called for developing a system based on ‘the nation’ and not ‘the sects’ in Lebanon.
“We have reached an understanding at the National Dialogue to use Hezbollah’s arms in support of the army and not of regimes abroad [which operate] at the expense of Lebanon and in favor of regional powers,” he said in reference to Hezbollah’s military involvement in the Syrian battles.
Gemayel also said that the “level of sectarianism and hegemony is high in our political life.”
