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.

Threat of Ruin for Ligue 1 Without Mbappe
French football is going through a very delicate moment. In fact, it is almost critical. Kylian Mbappé's departure to Real Madrid will not only affect the quality of football in the French top division, but it is also having a major impact on the overall economy of Ligue 1.
At the moment, it is the television rights that are keeping the whole of French football on tenterhooks.
In fact, with two months to go before the start of the 2024/25 season, no network has presented an offer to broadcast the French league. According to Le Parisien, the situation is now bordering on disaster. The league are even said to be considering the option of creating a Ligue 1 channel and reducing the bill by putting Internet service providers in the mix.
Some rumors even suggest that months ago, Macron himself personally asked the emir of Qatar to save French soccer by making a big offer through his sports channel Bein Sports. However, those reports claimed that the emir refused to enter the bidding for a Ligue 1 that has lost a lot of value after the confirmed departure of Mbappe.
Numbers don't look good for Ligue 1
