Report on Lebanon's envoy to Washington lacks legal basis
The article addressed the issue of filing a criminal complaint against Lebanon's ambassador to Washington, Nada Al-Maoud, on charges of violating the Israeli Boycott Law, after she contacted the Israeli ambassador in Washington to congratulate him on the safety of his son from a car accident in Jerusalem. Lawyer Hassan Adel Bazi claimed that the contact violates the law, but the government prosecutor at the military court, Judge Claude Ghanem, is now examining the legality of the accusation, emphasizing that the case lacks the legal elements necessary for prosecution. Lebanese law prohibits commercial dealings with Israel and the circulation of its products, but does not apply to diplomatic activities carried out by Al-Maoud on behalf of the Lebanese authorities, according to sources. The U.S. State Department condemned the Lebanese military intervention and the investigations conducted by the military court against the diplomat, affirming that this politicization constitutes an attack on Lebanese sovereignty and damages Lebanon's diplomatic reputation abroad.
