Carys Garland is pleased to welcome Nadim Houry, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative (ARI).
According to Houry, the “Yellow Line doctrine” is not a security measure, but rather a military tool for territorial control.
Drawing on recent developments in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, he argues that this doctrine operates as a legal façade for expanding occupation under the language of self-defence.
All the while, these practices actually undermine both ceasefire agreements and established principles of international law, threatening Lebanon's sovereignty.
