- I support foreign control over Lebanon’s infrastructure, including airport, seaport, electrical grid
- Calling Lebanese leaders “dogs” is insulting to dogs
- Lebanese people are incapable of ruling, because: “We are crooks” and “Whatever aid they send us, we steal.” 
- Lebanon is run like a small-time farm, but in a farm the chickens are fed, unlike the Lebanese people, who have no food.

Former Lebanese Minister Wiam Wahhab advocated for foreign stewardship over Lebanese institutions such as airports, water works, the electrical grid and garbage collection. Wahhab said that the Lebanese people are incapable of doing so, because: “We are crooks” and “Whatever (aid) they send us, we steal.” 

He further said that the opposition of top Lebanese leaders is not because they care about national honor or sovereignty, but because they are “under the foot” of a foreign ambassador. Wahhab added that it does not matter if Iran assumes the position of steward if it can do so. He continued to say that Lebanon is run like a small-time farm, but in a farm the chickens are fed, unlike the Lebanese people, who have no food. Wahhab referred to a tweet he posted suggesting that the four military-trained dogs France sent to Lebanon should have been swapped for four or five of Lebanon’s “dogs.” He furthers said that calling the Lebanese leaders “dogs” would be insulting for dogs.
