Amal Abdo Saad-Ghorayeb (Arabic: أمل سعد غريب) is a Lebanese writer and political analyst known for her writings on the Israeli–Lebanese conflict and Hezbollah.
[1] Saad-Ghorayeb was an assistant professor of political science at the Lebanese American University until 2008.
[3] While discussing the 2006 Lebanon War, Noam Chomsky cited her as "the leading Lebanese academic scholar of Hezbollah".
[4] In 2009, she declined an invitation to speak at the NATO Defense College, because this would have involved talking to Israeli military officers, which is against Lebanese law.
[5][6] Her articles have appeared in openDemocracy,[7] Foreign Affairs,[8] The Washington Post,[9] and Lebanon's Al Akhbar.
