Will Peace Deliver Justice to Lebanese Exiled in Israel?
For 26 years, the issue of Lebanese exiles to Israel has remained the most complex case in modern Lebanese history. This wound, still bleeding in the conscience of those families, also represents a political and humanitarian stain on the Lebanese state, or rather on the successive authorities that failed to address the matter objectively and with an untainted memory, free from the selectivity and distortions resulting from the dominance of the “Resistance Axis,” which appointed itself both adversary and judge, imposing its ideological perspective on the standards of treason and patriotism.

Duct-Taped Banana Artwork Sells for $6.2 Million in NYC
Maurizio Cattelan's provocative artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall has fetched $6.2m (£4.9m) at Sotheby's in New York - four times higher than pre-sale estimates.
The auction house says Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun outbid six other rivals to get the "Comedian" installation of the Italian visual artist on Wednesday.
"In the coming days, I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience," Mr Sun was quoted as saying.
The taped banana - now perhaps one of the most expensive fruits ever sold - was actually bought earlier in the day for a mere $0.35, according to the New York Times.
