MNAR ADLEY—In this episode of the MintCast, I am joined by journalists Marwa Osman and Batool Subeiti. Marwa is a journalist, university lecturer and TV show host from Southern Lebanon. She recently fled her home because of the Israeli bombing. Batool is an energy engineer by profession, antiwar activist and political analyst based in the United Kingdom. In this episode, our guests break down Israel’s brutal bombings that killed over 500 in Lebanon. As Netanyahu threatens to push Lebanon “to the edge of the abyss,” resistance groups prepare for a confrontation that could reshape the Middle East.
