before his debut as a public proponent of
Zionism, Antoun Sehnaoui was known across
Lebanon for both his tremendous wealth and his
tendency to serve as a kingmaker among the
right-wing parties catering to Lebanon\u2019s
Christian minority. When Lebanon\u2019s economy
collapsed in 2019 after it became clear that the
country\u2019s banking class had effectively been
running a state-sponsored pyramid scheme,
Sehnaoui emerged as the face of an amoral
Lebanese elite that managed to squirrel over $15
billion out of the country by using their
connections with Lebanon\u2019s central bank. While
ordinary Lebanese residents were turned away
from branches empty-handed, it emerged that
billions were being funneled abroad via the
Sehnaoui-owned Banque Richelieu France bank.</span></p>

Trump\u2019s former Deputy Special Presidential Envoy
for Middle East Peace under Steve Witkoff, the
relationship began to raise eyebrows \u2013 both
because it raised serious conflict of interest

it was clear the pair had plenty in common, as
both seemed deeply consumed by a shared
infatuation with Israel. Sehnaoui, who had long
been forced to contain his more exuberant
Zionist tendencies among much of Lebanese high

constantly flaunts a Star of David necklace with
the sort of zeal that only a convert can muster.</span></p>
