MP Jamil al-Sayyed on Friday engaged in a verbal clash with Prime Minister Saad Hariri, MP Sami Fatfat and a number of Mustaqbal MPs and ministers, as the parliament resumed its debate of the new government's Policy Statement.
The heated exchange erupted when Fatfat hit back at remarks voiced by Sayyed on Tuesday.
“An apology should be addressed to every young man arrested between the years 1992 and 2005,” Fatfat said, accusing Sayyed without naming him of “fabricating cases.”
Sayyed hit back, blasting Fatfat as a “youngster” and a “chick.”
Hariri intervened at this point, telling Sayyed: “It would be better if you don't talk. Respect yourself!”
“This is someone who doesn't respect martyrs and you are letting him talk,” the PM added.
Sayyed snapped back saying, "You respect yourself!"
