Wedding controversy
[edit]In July 2021, al-Sahili was widely criticized on social media after images and video circulated of his daughter's wedding. Criticism focused on the cost and extravagance of the wedding during a time of severe economic hardship in Lebanon. Al-Sahili apologized publicly, claiming that he had not paid for the wedding, and announced the suspension of all his party activities.[2][3]
