The United States has sanctioned Lebanon’s Gebran Bassil for his part in endemic corruption as well as his backing for Hezbollah, senior government officials stated Friday.

“He represents everything wrong with the broken Lebanese system,” a senior government official told reporters in a phone call to discuss the move that came under corruption-related sections in the Magnitsky Act.

Bassil is Lebanon’s former foreign minister and the son-in-law of President Michel Aoun.
