A Roadmap for Post-Conflict Economic Recovery in the Middle East
Rebuilding economies after conflict is a daunting challenge, especially in the Middle East, where decades of war have left lasting scars on economic structures and societies. Amid a shifting political landscape, a critical window of opportunity has emerged to support post-conflict recovery. International financial assistance will be crucial, yet the key question remains: how can reconstruction efforts and implementing policies deliver sustained economic performance and improve people’s lives? The high cost of inaction not only increases the risk of reverting to instability but also erodes the confidence of both international and regional stakeholders. Genuine recovery requires more than short-term financial injections; it demands a comprehensive approach that focuses on rebuilding institutions, implementing long-term reforms and fostering economic resilience.

Lebanon Military Court Charges Samir Geagea over Beirut Violence
A Lebanese military court has charged leading Christian politician Samir Geagea over deadly clashes in Beirut last October, a judicial source said on Thursday.
An official in Geagea’s Lebanese Forces party said the charge against him was political, and the investigation into the violence had been political from the start.
Seven people, all of them followers of the Iran-backed Hezbollah and its Shia ally the Amal Movement, were killed in the Oct. 14 clashes near an old frontline of the 1975-90 civil war.
Geagea is a strong critic of Hezbollah and has denied previous accusations by Hezbollah that the Lebanese Forces party was responsible for the deaths.
