MP Adib Abd al-Massih condemned the attack on former minister Issam Charafeddine. He wrote via his X account: "The attack on former minister and friend Issam Charafeddine is unacceptable, condemned, and denounced, no matter the reasons and excuses. He is Charafeddine [height of religion] by identity, but he is truly the honor (charaf) of the depositors by merit." He continued: "It is an honor for me to defend him because I am one of them. Let them return our money to us and you won't see a single one of them on the road; their rightful place in the first place is honorable homes and a respectable retirement from the sweat of their brows, and they don't need anyone."
