Lebanon - From "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" to a seat in the government!

So there is a new government in Lebanon and in the list of ministers there is one particularly interesting name. 

This is the Christian Maroni George Kardahi, a well-known journalist and broadcaster throughout the Arab world. The 71-year-old Kardahi worked for a number of Arab and international media outlets, but his big publicity came in 2000. 

Then he started broadcasting on the Saudi MBC network the show that won a crazy rating in the Arab world "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". Qaradahi was previously considered close to President Michel Aoun but in recent years has distanced himself from him and approached Suleiman Frangiya. 

In the current government, he was supposed to serve as communications minister, but at the last minute he will have to make do with the tourism portfolio. It will be interesting to see him function. 

In the past, he expressed support for the Assad regime in Syria and Hezbollah's weapons, but in recent years he changed his mind and began calling on Hezbollah to disarm. He also blamed Nasrallah and his men for the severe economic crisis in Lebanon.
