Government inquiry: war worsens crises
Prime Minister Nohad Mashnouk emphasized during the government accountability session that the recent war highlighted the accumulated crises in Lebanon and resulted in losses exceeding $20 billion, with more than 250,000 displaced persons. He clarified that the extent of destruction is beyond the country's capacity to bear the costs of reconstruction alone, stressing the necessity of international, Arab support, and confidence to restore stability. He also pointed out the importance of reaching an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, affirming that the success of negotiations is measured by their final outcomes. He emphasized that current policies should focus on prudent spending and rebuilding trust, with a significant financial investment in the electricity sector and support for the Lebanese Army in the south.
