MP Neemat Frem wrote the following on X:
"What a sorry time we live in, when a call to keep weapons in the hands of the state is met with a campaign of intimidation and accusations of treason against a spiritual and national figure like Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Rahi.
Such slander is both shameful and disgraceful. Enough with the distortion of facts, the denial, and the persistence in tearing down bridges and extinguishing hope.
Bkerke and the Patriarch need no validation from anyone. This is no longer a simple difference of opinion, it is an assault on the very essence of the nation, a blow to the Constitution and institutions, and to every Lebanese who looks to the state and the army as a refuge for dignity and sovereignty.
‘Know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’"
