President Saad Hariri continues to receive congratulations upon his return to Beirut, having met with political, spiritual, and popular figures at his residence in Bayt al-Wasat. He also met with several journalists, including media personality Nawal Berri, who welcomed him in her own way through social media. However, this welcome upset a segment of the Lebanese public, leading to a fierce attack on Berri. The media personality had accompanied her photo with President Hariri with a comment stating, "Prime Minister... you lit up the place."
