Amal Saad-Ghorayeb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amal Abdo Saad-Ghorayeb (Arabic: أمل سعد غريب) is a Lebanese writer and political analyst known for her writings on the Israeli–Lebanese conflict and Hezbollah.[1]

Life

[edit]

Saad-Ghorayeb was an assistant professor of political science at the Lebanese American University until 2008.[2] She received her Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham, England. She was a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center (CMEC).[3] While discussing the 2006 Lebanon War, Noam Chomsky cited her as "the leading Lebanese academic scholar of Hezbollah".[4] In 2009, she declined an invitation to speak at the NATO Defense College, because this would have involved talking to Israeli military officers, which is against Lebanese law.[5][6]

Her articles have appeared in openDemocracy,[7] Foreign Affairs,[8] The Washington Post,[9] and Lebanon's Al Akhbar.[10]

Her father, Abdo Saad, is a Shiite pollster;[11] her mother is Christian.
