The President of the Bank Employees Union, Asad Khouri, indicated that "after a week of closure, it was necessary to resume business operations and inject liquidity, and despite the absence of a security plan, banks adopted a self-security system." He added in a statement to MTV that "we will face two days of trial to decide our next steps based on the situation, and the current measures are awkward for employees in front of customers. We have scheduled a meeting for the representatives to gather their assessment of the experience."
