The last diplomatic corridors before the unknown... Lebanon between the specter of war and the end of the international umbrella

Nidaa Al Watan: The region is facing its last doses of diplomacy before they wear off, as contacts and initiatives accelerate in an effort to buy time and contain postponed explosions. But the distance is shrinking between settlements that move from one stop to another and potential confrontations whose course is difficult to control or whose anticipated repercussions on more than…

The state outside the guarantees of the mini-state... war is at the door

Nidaa Al Watan: The decision to go to war is made in Tehran, and Lebanon pays the price, while the Lebanese state stands powerless to prevent a decision it does not control. As the south approaches the brink of a new explosion, the value of guarantees collapses in the face of a reality that entrenches the subordination of the decision to go to war to Iranian calculations, leaving Lebanon exposed to a confrontation over which it has no authority…

A Reading by Novelist Omar Saeed of Painter Shawki Dalal’s “The Room of the Utopian Huweik”

Nidaa Al Watan: Color was never just for painting. Colors have always been a means of expanding geography and time. In his painting of the utopian Elias Huweik in Abrine, Shawki Dalal presents us with overlapping philosophies: the philosophy of place, the philosophy of time, the philosophy of color, and the philosophy of contemplation. In this work, the light shifts into color across the walls…

Brazil and Europe: The right and the left in a battle that goes beyond the ballot box

Nidaa Al Watan: Elections in contemporary democracies are no longer merely a competition between economic and social platforms, and their results alone are not enough to determine the direction society is taking. The ballot box may settle the identity of the ruler, while the direction of the state remains contested. This is what Brazil’s recent elections reveal,…

Nidaa Al Watan: I was flipping through the pages of the blue giant, “Facebook,” when a video appeared before me, dating back 15 years. It shows President Saad Hariri shouting and saying, in keeping with the color of his navy jacket and blue tie matching the color of his movement: “We want to breathe... I came to speak to you in colloquial Arabic, in the language of Lebanon’s youth, and the language of…”

The status quo policies are more dangerous than war

Nidaa Al Watan: The challenge remains, even if the truck carrying explosives had not been discovered in Dahr al-Baidar, and there had been no proposal before the Council of Ministers to refer the threat to national security to the Judicial Council. It has become greater and more dangerous after "Hezbollah" declared that the explosives belonged to it, demanding their return, and all that was missing was a call to award medals…

From the enemy’s media: Will the election results put the “State of Israel” back on the right track?

Al Liwaa: • Today, the citizens of Israel will determine what kind of state we will live in over the coming years: Will the government of those evading military service remain in power? Will the policy of containment, the loss of the state’s ability to assert its authority, and the high cost of living continue? Or will we form a government that puts citizens and working people at…

When Corruption Becomes Prestige and the State Becomes Spoils

Al Liwaa: The most dangerous thing about corruption is not that it spreads among those in power and influence, but that it loses its ability to provoke condemnation; that money becomes a source of respect regardless of its origin, and that an official’s success is measured by the wealth he has amassed and the connections he has built, not by the public service he has provided. At that point, the crisis is no longer confined to…

Al Liwaa: Topping the list are the failures of Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Gebran Bassil and the former energy ministers aligned with him, who succeeded one another throughout the past decade in managing the Ministry of Energy, after tens of billions of dollars were spent, most of which went into the pockets of those who benefited from them, and all of Lebanon was plunged into darkness…
