Gaza, Israël, Liban : Anthony Samrani face au chaos du Proche-Orient - entretien avec Pierre Haski

How can we understand the current chaos in the Middle East — beyond slogans and breaking news? In this episode of The World According to Pierre Haski, French journalist Pierre Haski speaks with Anthony Samrani, a Franco-Lebanese journalist and Co-Editor-in-Chief of L’Orient-Le Jour, one of Lebanon’s leading independent newspapers, based in Beirut. Pierre Haski is a long-time international affairs journalist, former foreign correspondent, and editorialist, known in France for his in-depth analysis of global political shifts and democratic crises. Through this series of long, unfiltered conversations, he seeks to understand how wars, power struggles and international failures are reshaping the world. Anthony Samrani observes the Middle East from a unique vantage point: Lebanon. A country marked by repeated wars, political collapse and foreign interference, Lebanon has become a fragile frontline of regional tensions. From Beirut, Samrani analyzes the war in Gaza, the risk of regional escalation involving Israel, Hezbollah and Iran, the collapse of the Lebanese state, and the growing sense of moral and political failure of the international order. This conversation explores journalism in times of war, the consequences of abandoning international rules, and a central question: what happens to the global order when those who claim to defend it no longer uphold their own principles? A calm, in-depth discussion to better understand the Middle East — and what its turmoil reveals about the state of the world. This conversation is in French, with English subtitles available.
