Beirut: Free Patriotic Movement leader, MP Gebran Bassil, wrote today on his personal "X" platform account: "Our shared life is Lebanon's raison d'ªtre. Protecting our existence and role requires a state that safeguards rights and freedoms, and a system that manages diversity with justice and equality. The crises around us are major. Our salvation lies in our understanding and respect for the balances upon which our country is founded. Happy Fitr Eid...May God bring goodness to the Lebanese and all Muslims around the world."
