Reel Talk S2 Ep11: Major Changes Unfolding in Lebanon!
February 17, 2025A NEW ERA FOR LEBANON?! 🇱🇧
LATEST PODCAST OUT NOW!! 🎙️
After two years of political deadlock, Lebanon finally has a new president—Joseph Aoun— the former Army Chief, and a new prime minister—Nawaf Salam—the former president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). But is this a step toward real reform, or just another extension of U.S. and Western influence in Lebanon?
In this episode, we sit down with:
🗣️ Sami Halabi – Director of Policy at Badil | The Alternative Policy Institute
🗣️ Michael Young – Journalist & Author
🗣️ Habib Battah – Journalist & Founder of Beirut Report
We discuss what these new leadership changes mean for Lebanon’s economy, political elite, and future relations with the U.S. and regional powers. Will this bring long-overdue reforms, or are we seeing the same old power dynamics at play?
⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded before a Lebanese cabinet was formed.
