The SOUL Op‑Ed section offers analysis shaped by decades of engagement in Middle Eastern affairs, U.S. policy circles, and Lebanon’s long struggle for sovereignty. These essays move beyond headlines to challenge conventional narratives, examine structural failures, and propose realistic strategic pathways. Grounded in historical perspective and direct engagement with policymakers, diplomats, security institutions, civil society, and the Lebanese people, each piece reflects a commitment to justice, democratic integrity, national sovereignty, and intellectual honesty.
