The media office of Minister of Environment Tamara Elzein issued the following statement:

Some social media platforms have been circulating claims alleging a "clash" between Minister Tamara Elzein and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. The media office of the Minister affirms that these allegations are completely baseless, and no argument or disagreement of any kind took place.

In light of such fabricated reports, Minister Elzein called on media outlets and social media users to exercise the highest levels of accuracy and professionalism, and adhere to ethical publishing standards, especially given the sensitive phase Lebanon is currently going through.
