Arab Center Washington DC and the Middle East Program at the Wilson Center are co-convening a panel of experts to assess the challenges and opportunities facing Lebanon under its new leadership.
Panelists will explore critical questions such as: How will Aoun and Salam implement reforms to strengthen governance and fight corruption? What economic and social reforms are necessary to stabilize the nation? How can the new government hold those responsible for corruption and misconduct accountable and restore trust in public institutions? What is the status and prospects for implementation of the provisions of the 1989 Taif Agreement regarding confessional politics and allocations?
The Webinar will address questions of: Can Lebanon regain full control over security and armed groups within its territory? How will Aoun and Salam deal with the continued Israeli occupation of areas in the south of the country? What steps will the new government take to improve relations with Arab neighbors and other global actors? How can Lebanon navigate domestic reconciliation and secure international assistance for reconstruction efforts? How can Lebanon deal with the Trump administration’s decision to halt foreign aid crucial to the Lebanese army? What are policy recommendations for the United States and European countries to help support the transition in Lebanon?
