In light of the displacement across Lebanon, we are listening to Lebanese Americans reflect on their ancestral homes.
ATFL Board Member Fayrouz Saad shares her memories of Bint Jbail—the Thursday market, her father's home, and the olive trees that connected her family across oceans.
“I have used it as a way to bring friends together and share a piece of our home. I will miss the taste of that olive oil.”

ATFL commends President Trump and supports efforts to avoid a broader regional war and pursue diplomatic de-escalation.
However, any arrangement must include credible mechanisms to eliminate the financing, arming, and operational support of regional proxies.
