What is required is not only that the government announces what it will pay, but how it will pay, when it will pay, and that it actually commits to payment deadlines.
What is required today from the government, specifically from the Ministry of Finance, is not partial solutions or postponed promises on the electricity issue, but a comprehensive and integrated government decision, including clear and specific financial commitments, coupled with implementation mechanisms and a binding timetable.
In the past, there were many spontaneous and comfortable encounters bringing together music choirs, school trips, or fire brigades. The stories of the Nazi Holocaust receded into the background, and the focus shifted more to life now, the beach, the LGBTQ community, and music.
In 2021 we had to cancel our trip because of Corona, in 2023 because of October 7 [the terrorist attack on Israel], and in 2025 because of a travel warning.

Dozens of employees, who received generous salaries under huge personal contracts, were working at universities around the world when Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, and they came to establish the civil structure that is extremely important to Hamas.
The days when prisons were like hotels are over. This is my mandate and this is my policy, and the revolution I brought about in the National Security Ministry I now want to bring about in the Defense Ministry as well
We adhere to the letter of the law, but we give them the absolute minimum. And yes, they are suffering
I am proud that I turned the prisons into a nightmare for saboteurs
I do not want to preempt matters, but the Public Prosecution is ready to execute as soon as the decision is issued
The current exceptional circumstances necessitate holding the vote virtually
There are visits he is making for the sake of the extension and the appeals, to inform everyone of what is happening and to consolidate his position, but that is not due to a rotation between the Sunni and Shiite communities.

What is happening today is due to the absence of the political authorities that once carried weight, particularly since the days of the martyr Rafik Hariri and even during the era of President Saad Hariri.
