The economic, humanitarian, political, and security crises in Lebanon

Last year in August the explosion that rocked Beirut turned everyone’s attention to Lebanon. French President Macron visited, and there were efforts to stabilize both the country’s politics and its economy. Despite this, Lebanon is dangerously close to becoming a failed state. The dire situation in Lebanon was the focus of a recent press briefing organized by the advocacy organization In Defense of Christians. 

Robert Nicholson and Richard Ghazal, two of the event’s expert panelists, join The Greek Current to share their expertise on what’s going on in Lebanon, why it matters, what steps the US and the international community should take, and what's at stake for the country's Christian population. 

Robert Nicholson is president of the Philos Project, a nonprofit based in New York City that promotes positive Christian Engagement in the Near East, and is on the advisory board of In Defense of Christians.

Richard Ghazal is a Senior Advisor with In Defense of Christians.
