noted on Monday that Leb's constitution and National Pact make no reference to resistance movements.
He declared during a presser: "The lack of reference renders Hizbullah an unconstitutional and illegitimate gang and we will never recognize its legitimacy."
"It is not a resistance, but an organized gang that does not abide by the law," he added.
"I challenge anyone to prove to me where the National Pact makes a reference to a resistance movement in Leb," he continued.
"Anyone who claims otherwise is altering historic facts and treaties," he stated.
Moreover, Geagea said that Hizbullah's actions over the past eight years had not served Leb, but only itself and Iran.
He refuted claims by Hizbullah members that they seek partnership with other Lebanese factions, saying that the party had disregarded and is still disregarding the country's interests by fighting in Syria alongside the Syrian regime.

's recent remarks that the party does not need the support of all Lebanese parties, Geagea asked: "What then is left of the Lebanese people's ties among each other? This party exists in Leb and anything it does will affect all of us, so why shouldn't it need our support?"
"Nasrallah has not been officially tasked by anyone to administer Leb's strategic affairs," he continued.
In addition, the LF leader said that over the past eight years, Hizbullah has acted as an illegitimate gang, not a resistance, giving the example of the events of May 7, 2008, among others.
"Hizbullah's illegitimate actions have led to lawlessness in Leb where several regions are not subject to the law," he said.
"Hizbullah has been linked to terrorist activities abroad, such as Bulgaria and Thailand. Are these acts of a resistance or an illegitimate gang?" he wondered.
"Leb can no longer exist as a state and it can never enjoy any peace and prosperity as long as Hizbullah continues to conduct itself as it is," he stressed.
Addressing Nasrallah's remarks on the Syrian crisis, Geagea said: "It is unacceptable for him to alter historic facts linked to the unrest."
"He is trying to make the people believe that the Syrian regime, which is the example of innocence, is being attacked by the United States, other countries, and takfir

is. This vision of the Syrian conflict is very far from the truth," he added.
"It is unacceptable for Nasrallah to alter historic facts to suit his interests," he stated.
"Poisoning the people's thoughts is more dangerous than bombings that had taken place in Leb in recent months and he should not undermine the people's intelligence," he declared.
Turning to some Lebanese powers that are fearful over the fate of Christians in the East, Geagea said: "It is very unfortunate that some sides are exploiting this issue for the sake of the Syrian regime."
"Some sides are portraying the conflict in Syria as being that of the regime against takfiris, while completely disregarding the Syrian people," he remarked in an indirect reference to Free Patriotic Movement

"These sides have forgotten the fate of former Presidents Bashir Gemayel and Rene Mouawad and other figures who have been assassinated," he added.
Addressing the dispute over the formation of a new government, the LF leader suggested the formation of a cabinet that does not include the March 8 and 14 camps because they are in disagreement over all pending issues.
A government that includes both of these sides will render it ineffective because their disputes will cripple it, he explained.
