The esteemed Jaafari Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan, stated that "although the country is in crisis and national interests urgently need necessary legislation and a government of necessity, some only care about personal gain, even if it means drowning all of Lebanon." He addressed the political forces that "should understand that the country is in real danger and the state of national interests is critical," saying: "Legislative action today is the most pressing national necessity, and further paralysis will push the country further into the unknown. The agendas in this area are dubious, especially since some believe that the paralysis and proxy management of the state, undermining its capabilities and potential, will benefit them in the decentralization and division files, backed by a dangerous project related to a tumultuous international reality that could incinerate Lebanon."
Mufti Qabalan emphasized that "it is important for everyone to realize the country's urgent need for full coordination between the government, the parliament, the central bank, and other political and financial decision-making components, as the ceiling of the international game is open and pressure on Lebanon continues. There is a need to activate the work of the state and political forces to prevent the collapse of the failing state project; otherwise, we will have practically entered the forbidden zone."
He noted that "the reality for people is extremely difficult, and a country without a Ministry of Health and social security exacerbates the catastrophe. There is a need to overcome difficulties and combat corruption, of which there are many examples, the case of 'the beneficial' and 'the property' is alarming. Without social protection, we will head toward worse outcomes, especially with the school and university season approaching. The government must act decisively in monitoring and accountability without any excuses, as its negligence is a crime, because our experience with the private sector has shown that its failures have led to the worst risks for this country after the collapse."
