Lebanon’s central bank chief appears before corruption hearing

These depositors recouping their funds are heroes, and their actions represent the frustrations of an entire nation deprived of its savings for nearly four years. As millions of Lebanese have been thrown into poverty by corrupt politicians and bank owners, desperate measures are a form of retribution for this injustice.
While the depositors' actions may seem noble to some, they, like many others inside and outside Lebanon, are blaming the wrong people. It's the outside influence of Iran, as well as Hezbollah, that has pushed Lebanon to the brink. The Lebanese people must acknowledge this to truly move forward and fix their country.
