Is the division of Lebanon a realistic possibility?
Elijah Magnier- Some believe that the creation of a Christian canton in Lebanon might halt the emigration of Christians and make that part of Lebanon more attractive to the Arab and Western world
On the ninth of May 2008, the American ambassador (who was at the time a Chargé d’Affaires) Michele J. Sison sent a letter to her superiors and other US security offices relative to her meeting with the Lebanese Christian leader of the “Lebanese Forces” (FL) Samir Geagea, leader of the “Lebanese Forces”. Geagea had told Sison that he had 7,000 to 10,000 fighters ready to fight Hezbollah and that, if the airport were shut down, the reception of weapons via amphibious roads could be facilitated. “The document bearing the number O8 Beirut 642-a, leaked by WikiLeaks, indicates that Geagea had requested the intervention of Arab forces that could put Hezbollah in trouble”. Local media reported the Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt as saying that Geagea had « 15,000 fighters ready for war.” This information was already available and published last August (2020). Does this mean that in the meantime, the Christian canton has become the centre for a realistic project leading to the partition of Lebanon?
