The media bureau of the parliament declared Thursday that “Karma Khayat launched lies and accusations concerning the incident that took place at al-Jadeed’s headquarters where a live coverage van was set on fire.”
“Such lies do no longer fool anyone, and we call on the judiciary to take these statements into consideration and assume its responsibility before Khayat travels to Monte Carlo for her wedding in two days,” the statement read.
Commenting on the incident, Al-Jadeed journalist Karma Khayyat had told LBCI that every time the TV channel airs a report on corruption or criticizing Speaker Nabih Berri, it gets attacked.
