"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. Geopolitical and demographic changes are altering power balances, while warlords have plundered resources, weakening institutions. Iranian proxies, once dominant, are now weakened, but Hezbollah fuels instability to maintain influence. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation persists, further straining sovereignty. Despite these challenges, Lebanon has a chance to rebuild.
