Anton Sahanawi

Anton Sahanawi is a Lebanese businessman known for his controversial stance on Israeli-Lebanese relations. He has attracted attention for his support of normalization between Lebanon and Israel, particularly during conflicts involving Hezbollah. Sahanawi, described by his partner, Morgan Ortagus, as a 'Christian Zionist,' has openly advocated for initiatives that foster peace and cooperation between the two nations. His recent public appearance alongside Ortagus at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. sparked a significant backlash in Lebanon, leading to legal actions against him for his connections with Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
