-- Professor Steve Hanke: It looks like Lebanon has swallowed the IMF’s snake oil. After Lebanon gets its hands on IMF bailout bucks, it plans to float the Pound. Well, it won’t float on a sea of tranquility. No. The pound will sink like a stone.

The article he is talking about: SOURCE

🇱🇧 Lebanon recorded 63 new cases, the highest in weeks, just as the government was planning to announce Lebanon is free of COVID-19.

The sudden increase was distributed as 36 locals, and 27 returnees who were infected outside Lebanon. Of those 36, 34 are traced cases by earlier spread caused by the neglect of the returnees.

Information minister Amal Abdel Samad: We are studying the nature of the coronavirus cases and the repatriation flights are the main reason for them, and they can be contained; as for cases among residents, they are caused by disrespect towards the general mobilization measures. @COVID19Up

-- Disgusting how some Lebanese politicians are working hard day and night to amnesty the Lebanese living in Israel and allowing them to come back

Most of who fought with Israel pre 2000 and helped occupy Lebanon, and whose children then, as Israeli citizens, served in the IDF.

Why exactly is FPM doing a crusade for them? Not even LF and Kataeb who openly worked with the IDF are doing that much of an effort.
