ʻO ka haunaele i ka pule i hala aku nei ua lilo ka ʻoihana Lebanona ma kahi o $ 600 miliona i ka loaʻa kālā a ke piʻi aʻe nei ke kiʻi i ka wā e hoʻomau ʻia ai ka make politika, wahi a ke Kuhina mākaʻikaʻi o ka ʻāina.
"He pōʻino ia no ka mea ke hoʻomākaukau nei mākou iā mākou iho no kahi manawa hoʻohiki ʻoiai nā pilikia politika," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Joe Sarkis i kahi ninaninau mai Beirut i kēia lā.
