Amal Saad-Ghorayeb

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.

Life

She worked as an assistant professor of political science at the Lebanese American University until 2008. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham, England. She was a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center (CMEC).

In 2009, she declined the invitation to speak at the NATO Defense College, because this would have involved talking to Israeli military officers, which is against Lebanese law.

Her work has appeared in Open Democracy, Foreign Affairs and Lebanon's Al Akhbar.

Her father, Abdo Saad, is a prominent Shiite pollster; her mother is Christian.

She resides in Lebanon.
