Sharara Lands to a Sparse Welcome as Raggi Weighs His Next Move
Calls for a public reception to welcome former Lebanese Consul in Michigan Ibrahim Sharara at Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport failed to gain traction, with only members of his family, a few friends and several journalists present to mark his arrival.
Sharara had already come under scrutiny for breaching diplomatic protocol through his social media posts. He also reportedly violated professional regulations by speaking to the media without prior authorization from Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi, a breach that could warrant disciplinary action.
