Lebanon's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Head of Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil has been all over social media for the past two days. 

Why? 

Because of a tweet posted to his official Twitter account late on Wednesday. 

In it, Bassil says that when a foreign ambassador of a certain country asked him about Lebanon's new electoral law, he simply smiled and gave no answer "because it's an internal affair."

Now while it wasn't the ambassador's question that caused the hilarious stir on social media, it was Bassil's answer that did. 

Here's how it all went down. 

This is the original tweet

Bassil: "A foreign ambassador of a certain country asked me about the new electoral law... I smiled and gave no answer, so he understood that this is an internal affair that no one has a right to interfere in." 

Which caused the social media fiasco

The tweet has gone viral all over social media in Lebanon and the reactions to it are quite hilarious...


A game changing tweet?

"No one's replying to anyone's questions today, we're all just smiling back at each other." 

That'll help you figure out when it's loubye for lunch...

"I asked my mum what's for lunch today, she just smiled... so I figured, it's loubye." 

There's a Bassilian response to every question
