Lebanese Forces MP Ghassan Hasbani revealed that the LF bloc will request a no-confidence vote for Minister of Finance Ali Hassan Khalil .

Khalil is one of the suspects in the Beirut Port Explosion and has an arrest warrant against him, which has not been executed yet .

Besides being a direct suspect, Khalil helped actively disrupt the Port Explosion investigations . He refused to sign the judicial appointments decree, which goes against constitutional laws.

Khalil is also sometimes described as Nabih Berri 's right-hand man. He was sanctioned by the United States Treasury under the Magnitsky Act for "corruption" and "leveraging political power for financial gain."

Hasbani added that his bloc directed a question at Khalil, and should he not respond, the no-confidence request will commence.
