For Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, the joy of Christmas this year is doubled as he celebrates the ouster of Syrian President and Hezbollah ally Bashar al-Assad.

Geagea appeared Sunday night on a screen in a LF-organized event in Canada. He called on Lebanese expats to return, promising that a U.S.-French brokered ceasefire in Lebanon and the fall of al-Assad are a real chance to rebuild Lebanon.
