“The FPM Will Support Any Decision The Army Makes”, Gebran Bassil

Gebran Bassil, a high ranking member of the FPM (the Christian party aligned with Hezbollah) announced that the FPM supports “any action the army undertakes”, a position that directly contradicts Hezbollah’s position.

Bassil Explained the divergence by saying that the Hezb has special “religious considerations” in its position, then he directly contradicted Nassrallah by saying: “There is no such thing as a red line to the Lebanese Army”

The FPM has military roots, their leader being a previous leader of the Lebanese Army. The FPM’s website is filled with valentines to the ‘valiant army’s sacrifices’.Mr. Aoun has just landed in Paris to talk with French officials and launch a book.
