Walid Fayyad’s Most Memorable Moments: From Quirky to Hilarious
Some politicians come and go without making much of an impression, but Walid Fayyad? He’s definitely not one of them! Whether it’s his unexpected one-liners or his out-of-the-box behavior, he has kept social media buzzing with his unique presence.
As Lebanon’s Minister of Energy, opinions about him are split. Some find him charming, relatable, and refreshingly candid, while others think he’s a bit too unconventional for the job. Love him or not, there’s no denying he’s given us plenty of moments to talk about!
Here’s a roundup of some of his most unforgettable—and often hilarious—moments that had everyone talking:
1. The time he casually snacked on popcorn during a presidential election session.
2. That time he decided his office at the ministry was the perfect spot for a haircut.
3. When he told the Lebanese people, “I love you.” – Simple, yet memorable.
4. His visit to the southern borders, where he suddenly decided to try his hand at stone throwing.
5. When he claimed the cancellation of the maritime border agreement wouldn’t harm Lebanon—because we never benefited from it to begin with.
6. During the fuel crisis, people stopping him at gas stations just to say “Mabrouk!”
7. The time he posed for a full-on photo shoot… in the middle of the road.
8. Dancing with the youth on Tyre’s beach like no one was watching.
9. Halfway through a press conference, when he seemed like he was just… winging it.
10. Going all in on the dance floor, showing off his best moves.
11. When he burst into song. Helwa ya Baladi.
12. When the reporter said ‘Mabrouk 3a shu?’ and Fayyad added ‘3a Frez’!
