An overview of the comments made by Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil on Syrian refugees.


SBS Arabic24 interviewed the media spokesperson for the Free Patriotic Movement, Natalie Maroon, to discuss the message behind the comments made by Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, in which he called for prioritizing the interests of Lebanese citizens in the labor market. 

Ms Maroon believes the minister's comments were taken out of context, where his intention was to 'regulate' the Syrian labor and make sure refugees abide by the law.
