In Lebanon today, the Sunni streets are largely leaderless, and many are searching for new direction. This Is Beirut went on the ground in Sunni areas to ask residents about the Muslim Brotherhood’s designation as a foreign terrorist organization and whether the Brotherhood or President Ahmed al-Sharaa can fill the leadership void.

Aaron Zelin, Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, joins us to analyze these street-level perspectives and what they reveal about the future of Sunni politics and leadership.
