Lebanon After the Assads
The United States has important equities in Lebanon, including a desire for a generally friendly government’s economic and political stability; security cooperation; long-standing relations with the large Christian community in Lebanon and Lebanese diaspora in the United States; and ultimately peace between Israel and Lebanon within a broader regional settlement. Achieving these objectives will require navigating a tumultuous period in the country’s history following a war between Hezbollah and Israel that has devastated a large part of the country, exacerbating Lebanon’s already challenging economic conditions. But perhaps the most important dynamic will be how a likely Sunni-dominated state of uncertain composition in Syria will differ in its intentions toward Lebanon from the previous Alawite-led minoritarian Assad regime.

MBS Endorses Saudi’s Preparations Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2034 Bid Book Submission
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has endorsed the Kingdom’s bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2034, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Monday.
The endorsement follows the completion of the bid’s detailed requirements ahead of the bid book submission to FIFA in France’s Paris.
A delegation, led Minister of Sports Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal Al Saud and President of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation Yasser Al Misehal, will represent the Kingdom at the bid book submission ceremony.
The official bid book forms part of the FIFA World Cup 2034 bid journey, which commenced on October 4, 2023 when Saudi Arabia, via the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, announced its intention to bid, SPA reported.
It was then followed by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation submitting its official letter of intent to FIFA, before the bid brand identity was revealed under the slogan ‘Growing. Together.’
The bidding period is set to conclude later this year in December when FIFA officially announces the host nation of the FIFA World Cup 2034 during a General Assembly meeting, the report added.
“We are committed to hosting an exceptional edition of the FIFA World CupTM set to feature 48 teams in a single country for the first time in the history of the competition,” Prince Abdulaziz said.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s direct supervision of Saudi Arabia’s ambitions of hosting this iconic global football event showcases his commitment to elevating the future of Saudi sport, in line with Vision 2030, and help nurture a generation of athletes capable of competing at the highest global stage. We will continue to showcase to the world our nation’s transformation across all sectors, what our youthful and vibrant population can offer and our massive capabilities of hosting the world’s biggest sporting events.”
