Decades of political corruption and financial crisis in Lebanon came to a head in early August when an explosion decimated much of the country's economic hub, Beirut. Carnegie Middle East Center Director Maha Yahya and the International Institute for Strategic Studies' Emile Hokayem join Deep Dish to examine the ongoing protest movement, Hezbollah's role in the crisis, and how a system built on sectarian politics could be rebuilt.
