In an issued statement by Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s press office this evening, it indicated that the words of Free Patriotic Movement Chief, MP Gebran Bassil, did not surprise the Prime Minister, who considers that Mr. Bassil only favors this kind of discourse that is far from national, political and moral behaviour, and that he only advocates hateful sectarian language and the distortion of facts….

In any case, the Prime Minister stresses that what MP Bassil stated is not worth the intellectual regression towards the content, and thus clarification was required, the statement concluded.
