Lebanese Elections: Bassil 'backs' peace with Israel

Free Patriotic Movement chief, Christian candidate Jebran Bassil on Friday said that he is in favor of “peace with Israel,” while adding that such a peace would have its “conditions.”

“I would like to see us reaching peace with Israel and Hezbollah does not agree with me in this issue,” Bassil said in an interview on LBCI television, a few hours before electoral silence begins for May 15 Sunday’s parliamentary elections.

NEWSRAEL: Bassil has his base in Lebanon, but is mainly shunned by Lebanese Christians for his past alliances with Hezbollah. It seems that by "opposing" Hezbollah he is trying to garner more Christian votes.

Let all christian factions unite to win this election. Don't let him hold majority support. That should make everybody feel safe. Lebanon needs rebuilding. That should be the main concern. God bless
