Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote on his account on the X platform:
"No matter how deep the political disagreement may be, and while I remain committed to freedom of opinion, I have always warned against slipping into any form of expression that includes personal abuse, insults, bullying, and accusations of treason — all of which are reprehensible and contribute to inflaming emotions and stoking sectarian tensions.
I appeal to my fellow citizens, brothers and sisters, to show the highest degree of awareness and reject hate speech in order to prevent dragging the country into an atmosphere of strife whose consequences would be dire."
