Accompanying Fadlallah in his visit to Maroun Al-Ras was Lebanese Minister of Information, Ziad Makari, who described what is happening in Gaza as a genocide in the making carried out by the occupation forces against the Palestinian people.
Makari emphasized that the Lebanese government's position is clear, in opposing the ongoing genocide committed against the Palestinian people.
He also pointed out that the war is not only waged in weapons but is also waged in the realm of media, which is of grave danger.
