Samir Geagea said in an interview with the Egyptian Akhbar el-Yom newspaper that the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad would constitute a "gift to the whole world, in particular the Lebanese."
"There will be no solution to the crisis in Syria without the intervention of a joint Arab military force that topples the regime and ISIS," he pointed out.
The Arab League postponed in August a meeting of member state defense ministers who were scheduled to ratify a protocol for a new joint military force to intervene in troubled areas in the region.
Arab League countries will decide later on a new date for the meeting. Members had formally announced the agreement in March, and drafted a protocol for it in May.
Geaega also accused Iran and Hezbollah of obstructing the election of a new Lebanese head of state and thus paralyzing all Constitutional institutions.
"Their aim is to press their Lebanese rivals to elect a president directly affiliated to Iran," Samir Geagea said.
He pointed out that reaching a breakthrough "lies in the hands of Iran."
"I can't predict the end of the Lebanese crisis."
