In the same spirit, thanks to the Trump administration for pushing these two countries to come to the table of negotiations again to finally solve the disputed land border’s issue (https://tinyurl.com/3zxkptec).

May safety, stability, and eventually peace finally know how to prevail in the Middle East, filled with SAD news both historically and currently like in Syria, more recently.
To come back to Bambi’s birth country, it has been stuck in the same (toxic) pattern of non-sovereignty for decades. It is about time to try a different (wiser) approach.

Of course, there is a VERY long healing journey awaiting Lebanon for the months and years to come. Thankfully, the courageous words and hopefully matching acts of its new leadership are promising baby steps in the process of building the country that the Lebanese population aspire to… and badly deserve.
