Calls to Repeal Lebanon’s Law Criminalizing Contact with Israel

Yesterday, Secretary Rubio, according to a U.S. State Department spokesperson, spoke with the President about the law criminalizing communication with Israel.

Are you going to push for this law to be repealed?

This law is a disgrace. It's shameful. That an ambassador is wasting her time defending Lebanon and trying to find Lebanon a solution against this war. People like these go on TV and find a sense It's meaningless under the law, but they use it to their advantage.

As far as we're concerned, this law should no longer exist.

We started talking to Israel, you're talking, we sent people to Washington, We also sent people from the military, meaning from from…

The army is in Washington. So what's so funny about that?

Can Speaker Berri introduce such a law or agree to introduce such a law before the General Assembly, in your opinion, given Lebanon's political makeup?

You always bring up Speaker Berri to me. Speaker Berri alone. Okay, he's the one who decides.

Okay, let's get this thing over with. Okay.
