A THREAD on Hassan's political practices and why I think the debate about it demonstrates Hassan and current Government responsible for the failure of the COVID response in Lebanon
1. Hezbollah killed the Lebanese twice: first, when the port blast occurred under Hezbollah-backed government leadership which, according to many experts, is believed was caused by arms warehouse explosion where the latter probably stored weapons: "I do not believe there was 1/14
2. that amount of ammonium nitrate at the Port of Beirut, nor that there was a fireworks depot" Danilo Coppe (Italian explosives expert); hence, “Storing explosives is an operation planned by Iranian intelligence and has been carried out in numerous countries” Dr. Ranif 1/14
3. Khouri (professor of constitutional law and international relations); and the second time when the party failed successfully to manage the implications of the COVID-19 and prepare Lebanon early on to diminish the damage through Caretaker Health Minister Hamad Hassan: 1/14
4. "Don't panic, we have it totally under control." (Hamad Hassan March. 2020).
The questions are therefore: why such large quantities of highly explosive and inflammable devices were left in Beirut’s port?
Why Lebanon’s president rejected and still rejects call for 1/14
