The Maronite Patriarchate's media office issued the following statement:
"Some media and social media platforms have been circulating reports about a serious health condition affecting Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Rahi, which promoted his transfer to the hospital. While we thank everyone for their concern and love, we hereby state that the Patriarch's health condition is stable, and the reason that necessitated his hospitalization was a mild intestinal discomfort due to the fluctuating weather conditions between coastal and mountainous regions. Medical tests and treatment are merely necessary to monitor the aforementioned condition, with no reason for alarm."
