What’s happening with the Lebanese government?
As the Lebanese government signed a framework agreement with Israel, you, too, might be wondering what it means.
To answer this question in depth, I invite you to watch an excellent video at Drop Site News: an interview with Amal Saad, a lecturer at Cardiff University and a Hezbollah expert.

Watch the full video below. Share it with those following developments in Lebanon and in the region.
You can also find a shorter yet powerful analysis by Rania Khalek from BreakThrough News here. Find a powerful excerpt from it below.
As always, stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
