For his part, MP Estephan Douaihy said that Lebanon’s fate depends on everyone’s sense of responsibility. He underscored the need for a national unified rhetoric that promotes domestic unity and shields Lebanon from regional turmoil.
In his speech, MP Samir Jeser said that Lebanon needs a rescue cabinet. He asked PM Najib Mikati a series of questions including the following: “Dear PM did you receive the latest news about contracting teachers working in public, vocational and higher education? Do you know that the rules for working full-time violate all principles and a teacher who has been working for four years has the lead on another whose been teaching for 18 years and all in the name of balance?” He addressed MP Michel Aoun with a series of questions: “The day Brig. Gen. Fayez Karam was accused, shouldn’t you have said that the judicial system is our refuge if he is found guilty then we will absolve ourselves and if he is found to be innocent then we will hold those who accused him responsible?” MP Imad Hout said that he is against the treason campaign, calling for engaging in a real dialogue to establish a technocrat cabinet, since people have lost faith in the current government. This round witnessed a rare meeting between MP Fouad Siniora and Hezbollah MP Nawaf Moussawi in a parliamentary hall. Moreover, MPs Emil Rahme and Akram Chehayib met to reconcile their differences.
