Sami Gemayel carries the coffin of Nazar Najarian, who was killed by Tuesday’s explosion.
“Your comrades took the decision to resign from parliament,” Gemayel said, addressing Kataeb secretary-general Nazar Najarian, one of the 154 confirmed victims of the explosion at Beirut port. The Christian party’s three resignations from the 128-seat parliament come after those of Marwan Hamade from the party of Druze leader Walid Jumblatt and independent MP Paula Yacoubian.“As the MP of Beirut, I took the decision of resigning because I feel I’m a false witness in this parliament,” she said.
