Karam, a senior member of the FPM, is accused of spying for Israel’s intelligence Mossad and receiving regular payments for providing a senior Israeli officer with information on Hezbollah and the Lebanese Army.
The tribunal heard testimonies from two doctors, Dr. Ilham Hobeka, a gastroenterologist and Dr. Ishak Keshishian, a cardiologist, in order to establish Karam’s state of health, as well as two officers who conducted the probe with Karam on behalf of the Information Branch.
In attendance were MPs Ibrahim Kanaan, Nabil Nicolas, Hijmat Deib, Naji Garios and Ziad Asswad.
Hobeika said that she had treated Karam on Oct. 9, 2010, “after he suffered pains in his stomach that required an x-ray, which was done. The scan showed a piece lodged in the liver and then I ordered further tests.”
For his part, Keshikian said he had treated Karam and “looked into his file and did not allow him to leave the hospital because the levels of sodium in his blood were 130 while the standard average is 135.”
Following the testimonies of the two doctors, a closed session was held, on the request of the general prosecutor, in order to listen to audio recordings from the Information Branch on the health of Karam.
