Description

Damien McElroy, the London Bureau Chief for The National newspaper, introduces the distinguished MENA expert Prof. Lina Khatib (Chatham House, SOAS, Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center) for a fascinating CMEC-hosted talk at the House of Lords about Lebanon, which is now under new political management. Important contributors to the discussion include H.E. Mr Rami Mortada, Lebanon's ambassador to the UK.

What happens next in this all-important Levant nation following years of chaos and trauma which have witnessed both the destruction of Hezbollah's military leadership, an incursion by Israel, a deep economic crisis, political turmoil and the devastating Beirut Port explosion? Can Lebanon recover from its omni-crises and what can its neighbours and the West do to help?
