Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome Bilal Y. Saab, Senior Managing Director of TRENDS US. Former Pentagon Official in the first Trump administration. According to Saab, Lebanon is at a crossroads: the government is committed to reform, is fundamentally “pro-Lebanese” and rejects interference from external actors. The central challenge remains Hezbollah, an entrenched, hybrid actor operating across political, military, and economic domains. Rather than advocating for abrupt or violent confrontation, he emphasizes a peaceful gradualist strategy, paired with nation-building efforts and sustained international support.
