Minister of Displaced Persons in the caretaker government, Issam Sharafeddine, confirmed on Tuesday that "tampering with national security is a red line, and what appeared in the street following the murder of Pascal Suleiman is a natural reaction." In a televised interview, he noted that Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi had not responded to their previous requests regarding holding an internal security council, but today he decided to cooperate, hoping for the best. Sharafeddine expressed that "security in Lebanon is not controlled, and there are 20,000 armed individuals inside the camps waiting for the zero hour."
