Nearly a year after the end of Syria’s civil war and the fall of the Assad dictatorship, the country has embarked on a long and complex reconstruction process. The destruction is staggering: entire neighborhoods lie in rubble and basic infrastructure (roads, power grids, and water systems) has collapsed, and public institutions are dysfunctional. Millions of Syrians remain displaced inside and outside the country, schools and hospitals are incapacitated, and what remains of the economy is crippled by unemployment, inflation, and the lingering impact of sanctions (even as many have lately been eased). Ongoing sectarian violence and a deepening humanitarian disaster, with more than 14.5 million Syrians facing food insecurity, compound the crisis. As the international community re-engages in Syria, reconstruction will require many hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and investment as well as assistance to restore governance, security, and stability.

The two MPs, Ali Fayyad and Ali Hassan Al Khalil, called for reform of the political system and full implementation of all the stipulations of the Taif Accord of 1989 – the agreement that ended Lebanon’s civil war and sought to update its confessional political model.

President Amine Gemayel pointed out that the Israeli invasion of Lebanon began long ago, saying that the recent attacks, air raids, casualties, tragedies, and the widespread destruction endured by the Lebanese people are all evidence of this painful reality.
In an interview with Al Arabiya, President Gemayel clarified that a ground war is not easy for Israel, describing the ongoing conflict as 'Hezbollah’s' war.
He noted that Hezbollah declared this as a support front for Gaza from Lebanon, thereby bearing full responsibility for it.
"Meanwhile, the Lebanese people, who had no part in the decision to engage in this war, are its victims and are paying the price for something they did not choose," he said.
He emphasized that the Lebanese people are against this war.
Gemayel called on Houae Speaker Nabih Berri to persuade Hezbollah, his partner in the political alliance, to agree to fully implement UNSC Resolution 1701.
"This would mean halting the Gaza support front from Lebanon and allowing UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army to exclusively control the area south of the Litani River," he said.
He also questioned reports of a limited Israeli incursion, recalling Israel’s ambitions, which led to the occupation of the capital, Beirut, in 1982.
