Mohanad Hage Ali is the deputy director for research at the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut where his work focuses on the shifting geopolitics and Islamist groups after the Arab uprisings. Hage Ali is from south Lebanon and wrote his doctoral dissertation on Hezbollah, later published as a book, titled Nationalism, Transnationalism, and Political Islam: Hizbullah's Institutional Identity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018). Diwan interviewed him in late October to get his perspective on the ongoing war in Lebanon, as large segments of the country, particularly areas of Shiite concentration, have been devastated by Israeli bombing.
