Can Lebanon Be a Hub for Syria’s Reconstruction?
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.

Cabinet Suggests Imposing Charges on Whatsapp Calls
The Cabinet proposed to impose a $0.20 fee a day for any call made using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) in order to increase revenues to the 2020 state budget, as reported by Telecommunications Minister Mohamed Choucair on Thursday.
If adopted, the proposal would result in a monthly charge of $6 if the user makes a call every day on WhatsApp calls and other calling applications such as Facebook call and FaceTime.
The annual revenues from such a plan would secure about $250 million to the treasury.
