The legislative session in the House of Representatives witnessed an intense debate during the discussion of an amendment to the National Defense Law that allows military personnel to practice the teaching profession. Representative Sami Gemayel said: “He turned out to be a rogue in the committee.” The head of the Defense Committee, Representative Jihad Al-Samad, responded to him: “You need to respect yourself when you talk to me. You are a member of the Defense Committee and have never attended.” The debate escalated, and Gemayel said: “I am not as low as my level,” to which Al-Samad responded: “Your level is much lower... you, Watty,” while MP Elias Hankash intervened, saying: “Tie your elbow.” Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri intervened, demanding that the boycotts stop, saying: “No more boycott.” At the conclusion of the discussion, the draft law was approved by a show of hands.
