The Institute for Middle East Understanding
About this episode

As violence escalates in Lebanon, many are drawing comparisons to Gaza. In this episode, we speak with Palestinian journalist and activist Lama Abu Kharoub, from Burj el-Shemali refugee camp in Lebanon, who shares firsthand insights from Lebanon, where communities continue to face displacement, destruction, and uncertainty despite repeated promises of multiple ceasefires. The discussion explores the similarities between Israel’s assaults in Lebanon and Gaza, and its impact on civilians trapped in the violence.
