We should start doing this in Lebanon and get some extra $$$$ to help with our economic problems. LOL
The possibility of Saad Al Hariri becoming PM is very high.

Hariri is part of the corrupt class whose bank made in 2016 half a million dollars in the Central Bank "financial reengineering" scheme, but Lebanon needs unity between its political parties to overcome the collapse. https://t.co/0ZnHSUefJX
Hezbullah and Amal have been fine with him coming back since he resigned in 2019. They know no PM can become a PM without his consent and prefer to deal with the master and not his pawns.

Walid Jomblat's party is likely to come around and he's been willing to accept anything.
Lebanese Forces won't name him although they are "allies".

FPM is unsure as Gebran Basil and Saad Al Hariri are not on good terms.
