Lebanese Officials Face Double Standards Accusations After Defending Antoun Sehnaoui’s Netanyahu Meeting
August 5, 2026
“FROM ‘SO WHAT?’ TO ‘IT’S FOR THE COUNTRY’…”
After viral photos confirmed Lebanese banker Antoun Sehnaoui co-hosted a D.C. dinner with Benjamin Netanyahu, a network of media figures and politicians rushed to spin the story.
From minimizing the encounter with “So what’s the problem?” to claiming “it’s in the country’s national interest” or that “the man has convictions,” independent outlet @megaphonenews exposes the selective outrage and double standards on full display.
Ordinary citizens face strict prosecution under Lebanon’s 1955 Anti-Boycott Law for simple online interactions, while political and financial elites receive media spin.
When wealth and political connections buy you a pass on national laws, the hypocrisy speaks for itself.
