Hariri Governmental Hospital's employees announce an open strike and threaten to close several departments.

The current Lebanese Minister of Health, Firas Al-Abyad, was the director of the hospital until recently.

On the 40th anniversary (of this year) of Ashoura and in light of the economic situation, Hezbullah distributed in the city of Tyre, goods and financial aid for the purchase of school supplies for vulnerable families, with a total value of 1,450,000,000 LBP (about 100,000 USD)

Value of 20L of fuel in €:

At the official rate (1515 LBP/$):

- 98 Octane: 121€
- 95 Octane: 117€
- Traditional Diesel Oil: 104.5€
- Hezbollah's Diesel Oil: 79.6€

Actual rate (approx. since rate changes daily):

- 98 Octane: 10.7€
- 95 Octane: 10.4€
- Traditional Diesel Oil: 9.25€
- Hezbollah's Diesel Oil: 7€

What makes it complicated is that Lebanese get their salaries at the official 1515 ⁠LBP rate, but pay for goods at a 15,000-20,000 LBP rate.

At the official rate, you can assume the high average monthly wage is worth 800-1200$ (about 685-1113€). Minimum wage is 500$. But most people getting paid in LBP, the minimum wage is worth 44$ at the actual rate. The average monthly wage is worth 117$ (100€).

William Noun, brother of John who died in the port explosion: As the families of the victims, we do not face one person & we agreed to put everything aside and stand in the face of everyone who opposes the investigation process. If Judge Al-Bitar is biased, we demand details.

The Syrian Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources informed his Lebanese counterpart that Syria will fix the defects in the Arab Gas pipeline, which extends 36 km between the Dabousiyah border point and the Deir Ammar plant in Lebanon, free of charge.

Al-Brax: Gasoline queues disappeared because Banque du Liban gave credits to all companies to purchase fuel.

For the second time this month, USA Treasury issues new economic sanctions against Hezbullah's assets and businesses. Details to follow below:

US sanctions targeted citizens from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Palestinians linked to the Hezbullah, according to the US Treasury.

In a message to the settlers of Kiryat Shmona by the IDF:

Between 5:00 am Thursday till 11:00 am Friday, the sounds of explosions will be heard in the sky of Kiryat Shmona, Galilee, and the Golan, due to planned engineering work.

Sounds will be heard in Lebanon

The manager of one of the branches of the "Lebanese Credit Bank" embezzled millions of dollars from depositors' accounts and escaped.

A thought to be discussed:

2018 Expatriate Election Results:
- Lebanese Forces: 8,568 votes
- FPM (Aoun) 8206 votes
- Amal Movement: 4731
- Hezbullah: 4273
- Future Movement: 3210
- PSP(Joumblat)v 2226

This excludes 2,600+ lost votes during delivery, and so.

Back in 2018 when I was in working in the voting committees for the Lebanese interior ministry, two full envelopes of votes from the USA for Hezbullah and "Al-Ahbash" party were discarded because the system didn't include those two poll stations.

(Part.1)

Though Hezbullah got the majority of votes in Lebanon with a big margin, Hezbullah has the right to demand the abolition of voting by expatriates from abroad. The party cannot conduct any political activity in any country or invite its supporters to vote, they are unable to facilitate the voting process like other parties, and are unable to send delegations to rally the community.

A large part of the Shia community is afraid that if they register to vote, they will fall into trouble with the authorities.

(Part.2)

Expatriate voting is also unrepresentative, as no voting took place during the 2018 elections in Iran, where a seizable Lebanese community lives there.

Solution? What do you think the correct reasoning is here.

Note: However in light of all the mentioned above, Hezbullah didn't ask to abolish expatriate voting nor does it care about that. That was just food for thought.
