Lebanese Christian writer Jean-Marie Qassab caused a huge stir in the country when he called on his country to make peace with Israel and declare war on Iran.
Kasab told the Lebanese television channel MTV and even stated that he was willing to give up the Shebaa farm in order to establish peace with the Jewish state.
"Personally, as a commentator, I demand peace with Israel. There is a difference between peace and reconciliation. There is a great connection between Israel and Lebanon. Many have died, many homes have been destroyed, and this has a huge psychological impact on both countries. I want to make peace. I want to put an end For wars, "the writer told the interviewer.

The interviewer pressed Kasab and told him: "But Israel is still occupying our lands," referring to Israeli control of the Shebaa Farms.
"I do not want the Shebaa farm. No one lives there anyway," the writer replied.
The interviewer was shocked and said, "But this is a betrayal."
"Let there be a betrayal, so I'm a traitor. I do not want the Shebaa Farms, they can take it as a gift. No one lives there and there are no people there. There is no Lebanese people there," the writer taunted the interviewer who looked shocked.
"I oppose the Iranian occupier. I think we should side with Israel and establish peace with Israel and Syria and declare war on the Iranian occupier," Qassab added.
Qassab also continued to attack the terrorist organization Hezbollah and said: "Why do they call themselves the Muslim resistance? I am a Christian, why would I want an Islamic resistance to protect me?".
"This resistance protects you," the interviewer told him.
"They are not sacrificing anything for anyone else. They dragged us to Syria with their war.
