The discussion on Fouad Chehab begins at 10:06. In the fourth edition of our historical figures’ series, Nizar and Ben analyze the life and legacy of Fouad Chehab, the army commander turned Lebanese president, who in his presidency from 1958 to 1964 enacted a reform agenda that transformed the Lebanese state.  A romanticized figure, famous for his state-building agenda, the Lebanese view of Fouad Chehab says more about the modern-day state of the country than how it was in the 1950s/60s.  For more see: - Fawwaz Traboulsi - "A History of Modern Lebanon" (pp 138 - 155) - William Harris -  "Lebanon: A History, 600-2011" - Chehabism by The Fouad Chehab Foundation http://www.fouadchehab.org/chehabism/  Also discussed on the forty-third episode of The Lebanese Politics Podcast: it’s Lebanon’s first of two Easters, the results of the Tripoli election, austerity and protests, and a clarification that Pompeo did in fact speak to some press, but it wasn’t pretty.  Correction When discussing Raymond Eddé we referred to the "constitutional" bloc when we meant to say "national" bloc. TLPP apologizes for the mix up.  Music track: Zuhal by Elepheel, check out his other work @elepheel
