A new episode of the podcast "Ad HaKatz" on Kan 11 examines the profound changes Lebanon is undergoing in the period following Hezbollah's weakening. Host Keren Neubach hosts Kan News correspondent Roey Kais and Miriam Younes, a Lebanese-Israeli who fled with her family from southern Lebanon to Israel. The conversation focuses on the seemingly encouraging signs: the bars in Beirut are again full of crowds, festivals are bustling, and Lebanese television dares to speak loudly about peace. However, alongside the optimistic picture, the episode presents the complex reality: the war with Israel is still ongoing, the Lebanese economy is in a severe crisis, and the entire country is struggling to recover after years of political and security instability. The central question that arises is whether the Lebanese government will succeed in stabilizing and imposing real sovereignty over its territory, and whether Beirut has a real chance of returning to its glory days.
