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.

French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Lebanon carried a strategic dimension that extended beyond bilateral relations to encompass the broader regional security landscape and its stability.
Practically, Macron's visit provided an opportunity to strengthen security cooperation and discuss pathways to achieving stability in the region.
Several French media outlets have highlighted the implications of this visit, the objectives Macron may bring forth, and the anticipated local and regional reactions.
France and Lebanon maintain a longstanding military and security partnership. Macron's visit may strengthen this cooperation through enhanced training, provision of equipment, and the announcement of new training programs for the Lebanese Armed Forces.
These measures aim to bolster the army's capabilities, including collaboration in joint counter-terrorism operations and combating illegal armed groups. Additionally, the visit underscores efforts to improve intelligence sharing between French and Lebanese security services, enabling better anticipation of potential security threats.
Reports suggest that Macron's visit will provoke reactions from regional actors: Hezbollah may view the visit as either an opportunity or a threat, depending on the announced initiatives. Meanwhile, Israel is likely to welcome French efforts to contain the influence of Iran and Hezbollah. As for Iran, it may express skepticism towards the French initiatives, particularly if they are seen as aimed at limiting its regional influence.
The French President’s visit to Lebanon marks a pivotal opportunity to strengthen regional security and stability. Through military cooperation, stability-driven initiatives, and diplomatic engagement, France can play a key role in managing regional tensions and fostering peace in the Middle East. However, the challenges are numerous, and the success of the visit will depend on France's ability to maneuver through a complex geopolitical environment and secure the support of diverse regional actors.
