The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Canada’s FM in Lebanon to Affirm Commitment to Regional Stability
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly arrived Tuesday in Lebanon on a two-day visit to the crisis-hit country.
Joly had been in Cyprus and will also be travelling to Türkiye and Greece.
In Lebanon, Joly will meet with senior government officials and stakeholders, including caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Army chief gen. Joseph Aoun and Head of Mission and Force Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon Lieutenant General Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz.
While in Lebanon, Minister Joly will underscore Canada’s support for Lebanon and Lebanese people in their current challenges and reaffirm Canada’s commitment to regional stability, Canada's Global Affairs said.
"The rapidly evolving situations in the Middle East continue to have significant repercussions in many communities in Canada and around the world," Joly said.
"I look forward to engaging with my counterparts and other stakeholders in Cyprus, Lebanon, Türkiye and Greece to hear their views on these issues and to see how Canada can continue to provide support where needed at this critical time," she added.
Canada and Lebanon enjoy strong people-to-people ties, with approximately 400,000 Lebanese-Canadians living in Canada. Since 2016, Canada has committed more than $548 million in funding to support Lebanon’s stability and resilience as it copes with the effects of the conflicts in Iraq and Syria and the catastrophic explosion at the Beirut port in 2020.
