The United States expelled the Lebanese consul in Detroit, Ibrahim Sherer. His posts from 2021 glorifying attack on the barracks of the peacekeepers in Beirut in 1983 were found on social networks.
So 241 American servicemen died. Sharara, in his X post, called the attack an act of liberation from neo-colonialism.
The decision to expel the Lebanese diplomat was made by Marco Rubio. He did not comment on the allegations against him, but the Lebanese press said that his X account had been hacked. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not satisfied with these explanations.
Sharara served as consul for less than a year. Rubio acted quickly. Information about Scherer's old posts came to the media on November 2, and on November 8 he flew home from the Detroit airport.
