On Wednesday, Lebanese judicial officials issued a wanted notice for prominent businessman Antoun Sehnaoui. The warrant, valid for 30 days, follows allegations that Sehnaoui met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon.

According to a judicial source cited by AFP, prosecutor Ahmad Rami initiated the legal action based on charges of "dealing with the Israeli enemy." This charge stems from Lebanon's long-standing boycott laws, which strictly criminalize any form of contact or communication with Israeli officials or entities. Under Lebanese law, citizens are prohibited from engaging with the state of Israel, which remains technically at war with Lebanon.

While the judicial source confirmed the issuance of the warrant, there has been no immediate public statement from Sehnaoui or his legal representatives regarding the allegations. The case highlights the strict enforcement of Lebanon’s anti-normalization laws, particularly during periods of heightened military tension. The warrant serves as a formal step in the judicial process, though the practical implications for Sehnaoui's status remain to be seen as the legal proceedings move forward.
