We're in Beirut for Episode 4 of The Beirut Banyan, and we're joined by Lebanon's Ambassador to the United Nations, Amal Mudallali.
Amal's career bridges journalism and politics with research, analysis and diplomacy. Prior to her current post at the UN, Amal worked at the Woodrow Wilson Center, a leading Washington, DC based think-tank with her research focusing on Lebanon and wider Middle East issues. She also served as a foreign policy and American affairs advisor to the late Rafik Hariri and current Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Amal was a journalist at An-Nahar newspaper in the 1990s, and got her start as a war-time correspondent in Beirut in the buildup and aftermath of the Israeli invasion of 1982.
