And Sheikha Haniya Badawi, a Lebanese woman, was married to a Druze man from the Palestinians of the 48 lands, and she immigrated to Palestine to live with her husband for many years. After the death of her husband, she decided to return to live with her family in Lebanon, and reached the Lebanese border through the Naqoura crossing from occupied Palestine.
As soon as a decision was issued by the military judiciary to arrest her, social media sites were ignited for hours in refusal of this arrest, and the campaign reached the limits of demonstrating in front of the military court in refusal to arrest her.
Lebanese public opinion was divided between a supporter of the Druze campaign once morest its arrest, and a rejection of all practices that “detail the elimination of the scale of some and their electoral calculations” or their “sectarian accounts”. What happened is a disparagement of the judiciary and a questioning of its legal procedures, which are usually taken with personalities returning from occupied Palestine. At the same time, the other party must pay attention to the specificity of the human condition and the age of the woman, and wait until the validity of the suspicions is confirmed, without being drawn into sectarian instincts. In the event, the speech took a sectarian and politicized turn, expressed by some by saying that if the woman was from another sect, she would have been arrested until next Monday pending investigation.
In the face of this debate, Jumblatt intervened to condemn the “recklessness”. His intervention seemed to protect the law and legal procedures, and to reject the enthusiasm and the sectarianism of the case. Jumblatt said in a tweet that “the desecration of the emergency room in the military hospital by an enthusiastic and reckless crowd of a class of Druze is reprehensible and rejected,” adding: “Is the intention to portray the Druze as outside the law, motivated only by instinct?”
