Dispute over the jurisdictions to handle Lebanon’s problematic file of the return of Syrian refugees erupted on Thursday between caretaker Minister of Social Affairs Hector Hajjar and caretaker Minister of the Displaced Issam Sharafeddine.
During a meeting chaired by outgoing Prime Minister Najib Mikati to handle the return of Syrian refugees, Sharafeddine reportedly left the meeting in anger accusing Mikati of “undermining” his powers.
