Former Deputy Prime Minister and member of the "Strong Republic" bloc, Ghassan Hasbani, wrote on his account on the platform "X": "A system of corruption and arms, both regional and local, has placed Lebanon among the globally isolated nations, which include Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, marking a dead economic region. Meanwhile, there is an oil and economic corridor from Russia to Europe, with a competing route emerging between India and Europe passing through the Gulf and Haifa. We must free Lebanon from this system and extricate it from this axis before it is too late."
