Cameras captured Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdallah Bou Habib chewing gum in an inappropriate way, while Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati delivered Lebanon's speech at the 32nd Arab League Summit in Jeddah.
Bou Habib's behavior prompted the organizers to send a message to him through Lebanon's ambassador to Saudi Arabia Fawzi Kabbara who asked him to throw the gum, so he complied with the request in front of the cameras.
This behavior was condemned by activists on social media, who considered it a continuation of striking Lebanon's diplomatic image and undermining its position among Arab countries.
