Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel on Wednesday called for avoiding any arguments with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah over his latest speech.
He warned that verbal clashes "would increase the rift."
"The best response in this case is to hold onto state institutions and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon," Gemayel said in an interview with Future News TV.
"I doubt that the international community would accept torpedoing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and impeding its course, and I ask Hizbullah: What is the alternative?"
Gemayel wondered if Lebanese courts would represent an alternative to the STL "in light of what Sayyed Nasrallah's allies say about those courts."
"There's no choice but steadfastness and the Lebanese people will not yield to what Hizbullah wants," he stressed, noting that "Nasrallah's rhetoric doesn't scare us, but it makes us fearful about the country."
On the other hand, Gemayel said that he would not "hesitate" to visit Damascus when such a trip "becomes beneficial."
"But as long as the relation is at the level of the two governments, let us grant our trust to this communication," he added.
