[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Nasrallah pledged that Iranian medical capabilities will enter and aid Lebanon (as the new Health Minister is from Hezbollah). Samir Geagea, head of the “Lebanese Forces Party” stated in this matter: “The door to Lebanon is open to Iranian medicines as long as they pass the necessary legal framework for approval. But, the Lebanese laboratories for the manufacture of medicines are some of the most advanced, and the problem is not the medical capabilities, but the lack of market. Therefore, if Mr. Hassan (Nasrallah) wants to benefit Lebanon, it should be by opening the Iranian market to Lebanese medicines, and not the other way around”.
This statement clearly indicates Samir Geagea’s distrust of Hezbollah’s intensions as Geagea points out Hezbollah’s focus on promoting Iranian interests above those of Lebanon even in matters of internal issues such as improvements in the field of medicine which they oversee.
This shows that the Lebanese government is still not entirely under Hezbollah control and that there are voices objecting to Hezbollah’s approach, as exemplified by Geagea’s objection to Hezbollah’s attempts to promote Iranian interests over those of Lebanon.
