The head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, revealed "an additional crime against Lebanon and the Lebanese being committed by anyone who contributes to the third extension of municipalities." He stated via "X": "To the resistance axis and its allies: After you deprived the Lebanese of a real state, after you brought them to the depths of hell, and after you disrupted the presidential elections, you are now striving to also deprive them of local authorities." He urged the Free Patriotic Movement "not to participate in this crime, and not to attend the upcoming extension session, in order to force the government to organize municipal elections in all Lebanese regions except those experiencing ongoing military operations."
