The seismic expert at the American University of Beirut, Tony Nemer, confirmed that what happened in Morocco is very far from Lebanon. In an interview with "Voice of Lebanon," he pointed out that major earthquakes occur all around the world and have historically taken place in Lebanon, but this does not mean that such events will recur or are imminent. In the same context, geological researcher and expert Antoine Samarani stated to "Voice of Lebanon" that there are no scientific reasons to support the Dutch scientist's predictions about earthquakes in Morocco, emphasizing that there is no direct connection between the earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco.
