Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel announced Tuesday that his party is not seeking a so-called "paper of understanding" with Hizbullah, downplaying recent media reports about the ties between the two parties.
"We're not seeking an understanding paper with Hizbullah," Gemayel said during a meeting with a group of reporters that he invited to Kataeb's headquarters in Saifi.
“The communication started three years ago and we do not sever ties with anyone,” Gemayel noted.
He also described the media reports about Kataeb's relation with Hizbullah as a “media campaign against Kataeb's stance on the presidential issue.”
“It aims to tarnish Kataeb's image and give the impression that it has a hidden agenda that contradicts with its public statements,” Gemayel added.
