Rational Republic Blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n The prime minister was apparently \u201cdeeply saddened by what he saw on television\u201d and felt compelled to act personally. \u201cIt is heartbreaking to watch a country break at the seams, I can only hope that they may find it in themselves to put their differences aside and do what is best for the people,\u201d added Salam, whose government took 330 days to be formed due to political deadlock. <\/p>\n
It is rumored that the care package includes the first four seasons of the hit E! Network show \u201cKeeping Up With The Kardashians,\u201d two blankets, one box of the Lebanese delicacy Tarboush and three hard hats donated by the Lebanese army. \u201cThe Prime Minister was trying to send a piece of himself and a piece of Lebanon, it was very important to him that the package have a personal touch, he really hopes the Tarboush gets delivered intact,\u201d our source shared. <\/p>\n
Prime Minister Salam further commented on the Ukrainian crisis after a lengthy cabinet meeting discussing the Lebanese presidential elections impasse, \u201cIt is unacceptable for people to be killed in the streets, it is appalling when governments can\u2019t protect their own people,\u201d stated Prime Minister Salam, adding, \u201cwe must stand up and help our brothers in Ukraine \u2013 also, our sisters too.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is word that the PM has started the paperwork to establish a relief fund for the people of Ukraine, which will funnel Lebanese tax money directly to the people who need it most. <\/p>\n
