Gebran Bassil, Lebanon’s former energy minister and new foreign minister, was suing us. In the article, we asked Bassil directly to clarify what had happened to $33 million made through the sale of seismic surveys. For clarification, it is worth stating what happened following publication of the article. A trial will provide us with a rare opportunity to question Bassil on his practices as a minister, a politician and a businessman going back many years. You have given us the opportunity to interrogate you on all your practices over the past five years in power.
