U.S. warns Lebanon: No more aid if Hezbollah takes over

Samir Geagea, leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces on Saturday warned at a press conference in Beirut that if Hizbullah dominates the next Lebanese government, Lebanon will “turn into Gaza.”

Geagea also warned that in such a scenario, Lebanon’s economy would be devastated and freedoms would be repressed.

The Christian leader was referring to Hamas’s takeover of Gaza in 2007 and the devastation of its economy that followed. Both Hamas and Hizbullah are funded by Iran.
