WikiLeaks new discoveries: Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea believed that turning Hezbollah into internal problem will pave way to its disarmament!

On Friday, more “surprises” when uncovered by the leaked cables, known as WikiLeaks, published by Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar and covering the July 2006 war…

According to a leaked US Embassy cable published exclusively in Al-Akhbar on Friday, Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea believed that turning Hezbollah into an internal Lebanese problem will pave the way to its disarmament.

Dated July 25, 2006, the WikiLeaks cable also quoted Geagea as saying that a ceasefire in the July 2006 war that does not call for the party's disarmament will "inevitably lead to the renewal of the hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel."

The key to disarming the group lies in turning it into an internal Lebanese problem where the people view it as a threat causing great damage to their country, he reportedly said.

Furthermore, he claimed that Speaker Nabih Berri's power in Lebanon would diminish as soon as Hezbollah is weakened. "Berri's power cannot be separated from Hezbollah’s," Geagea stressed.
