"Lebanon: Restoring a Broken State to End Occupation and Destruction" Featuring: Najat Aoun Saliba, member of the Parliament of Lebanon Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Zoom link to be sent to all registrants via the registration confirmation email. https://sdwac.org/event-6086729 About the Program Lebanon faces a turning point amid regional shifts, internal exploitation, and external pressures.
