[7][8][9] The appointment of the six women to Lebanon's Cabinet was met with "an outpouring amount of comments, memes, and jokes sexualizing and objectifying them".

[10] However, this was rectified at a later stage where Zeina Akar was complimented for having outstanding managerial and organizational skills.

[11] She has been accused of being affiliated with various political parties, but sources denied this saying she has no partisan background and was chosen by President Michel Aoun.

[9][14] She is married to Jawad Adra, a Sunni businessman who heads one of the country's largest research companies,[7][15] and built the Nabu Museum with artefacts mostly from his private collection.
