“A state versus a militia – that formula just doesn’t work. It has destroyed Lebanon.”
Minister Haneen Sayed on:
Hezbollah disarmament: “When one political party has arms and the other doesn’t, that immediately changes the balance of power…it can only be the Army of Lebanon that can defend.”
500,000 children in poverty: “That’s very alarming for the future”
Israeli ceasefire violations: “We cannot have stability, social or economic stability, until that is done”
Syrian refugee returns: 400,000 families have returned
Why she left the World Bank to serve Lebanon
“My ultimate KPI is when our youth start coming back. When my daughter tells me, ‘I’m coming back, mommy’ then I know we’ve turned the corner.”
