The discussion centers on Lebanon's future following Syria's withdrawal of troops, highlighting the historical context of religious conflicts in the region. Participants express concern that the absence of Syrian military presence may reignite civil war, with skepticism about President Habib's ability to effectively govern and promote stability.
