Lebanese MP Samy Gemayel, the leader of Lebanese Christian Kataeb Party said in an October 17, 2022 interview aired on LBC TV (Lebanon) that his goal is for Lebanon to live in peace. He said that he doesn't want to live in a country where he and his children face war every year or two.
Gemayel said that he does not believe in eternal hostility and enmity, and stated that even Nazis Germany's killing of millions during World War II did not result in "eternal enmity."
He said that he does not want to "adopt a racist approach" regarding Israel and that there are Israelis who oppose war and demonstrate against it.
Gemayel further said that both Syria and Israel have harmed Lebanon "to the same extent," but Syria has killed more Lebanese people.
Samy Gemayel is the nephew of Bachir Gemayel, a Lebanese President-elect who was assassinated by a Syrian terrorist in 1982.
