BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:40 P.M.) – A member of the Lebanese Parliament revealed that Lebanon is reluctant to renew the contract to import electricity from Syria, and is not paying the dues it owes to it, for fear that penalties will be imposed on it under the US-imposed “Caesar Act.”
The member of the “loyalty to the resistance” bloc affiliated with Hezbollah, MP Hussein Hajj Hassan, said: “We are importing electricity from Syria to support the Lebanese network and supply from Syria, and unfortunately, after the Caesar Act came, there are some officials in Lebanon who were appalled, even though the electricity was drawn from Syria.
