Their photo, relayed on social networks, provoked numerous comments.

However, the former MP and the Free Patriotic Movement leader did not walk together. According to people close to Fares Souhaid, the meeting was by chance. As he did every Sunday, he was walking in the wilderness with local people when a car drove by. A little later, he was surprised to see Gebran Bassil coming towards him and saying, “We only meet in the wild.”

Still, according to those accompanying Souhaid, the FPM leader continued the conversation, sometimes with those accompanying him, sometimes evoking political questions to which the founder of the Saydet el-Jabal gathering did not want to answer “because the place does not lend itself to this kind of debate.” Especially since some of them just want to walk, say those close to him. The two men greeted each other once more, then went their separate ways.
