BEIRUT: The cancer that ISIS is can still be halted, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Saturday, but only if the world resolves to work together to stop it.
' ISIS is a cancerous tumor that surfaced at first in parts of Iraq and Syria and it's still contained to a certain point and this can be removed only if we join our efforts via an international Arab alliance,' Geagea said during a ceremony to commemorate the LF martyrs.
'If they're trying to intimidate us then do not fear them. ... Those who faced major challenges and the likes of ISIS throughout history should not fear those today,' he said
'We are the sons of the historical Lebanese resistance.'
Geagea also spoke about the presidential election, indirectly criticizing his rival MP Michel Aoun for eyeing the presidency at the expense of the country.
