My Hope for Lebanon
A company of Lebanese soldiers assigned to maintain order in this anxious wartime capital is gathered at its headquarters 100 yards from the Mediterranean. I make the blunder of asking their commander how many of his men are Shiites, Sunnis, Christians and Druze.

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.

Hariri, Rifi Meet for First Time Since Standoff
Prime Minister Saad Hariri and former Minister Ashraf Rifi met on Tuesday night for the first time since ties between the two men had been severed three years ago.
The meeting was held at the residence of former PM Fouad Siniora.
Following the talks, Siniora announced that Rifi will not run for Tripoli's upcoming by-elections, and that he will instead back Future Movement candidate Dima Jamali.
"A new page was turned today," Hariri said. "We have to close ranks and work to pull Tripoli out of poverty."
"The primary concern for Rifi and me, as well as for former PM Najib Mikati and former Minister Mohammad Safadi, is the development of Tripoli," Hariri stressed.
The relation between Hariri and Rifi soured over a number of issues in 2016, leading the latter to resign from his post as justice minister in a government headed by the Future Movement leader.
