Lebanese Elections: Bassil 'backs' peace with Israel
Newsrael News Desk 14.05.2022
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.
