⋯ His arrest sparked outrage by Lebanese Christian political parties (LF, FPM, Marada and others) who united over the demand for the resignation of the military court judge Fadi al-Akiki who had ordered the arrest of Al-Hajj.

It was revealed that Al-Hajj had been smuggling bags of money, sometimes on a monthly basis and often totaling half a million dollars, in violation of Lebanese and Arab boycott laws.

⋯ Security services had also alerted Al-Hajj to the fact the money he was carrying belonged to Lebanese convicts caught spying for Israel. Al-Hajj was monitored by security forces in light of his contact with SLA members who fled to Israel when the Lebanese resistance liberated south Lebanon in May 2000

⋯ For several years, Al-Hajj led prayers in Israel attended by SLA members and their families. Most notably, he led mass attended by the Israeli government and army representatives to commemorate the death of the SLA commander general Antoine Lahad in 2015.
