Country Information
Lebanon is a Middle Eastern country with a long history of civil wars and conflicts with Israel. Although they did not participate in the Arab-Israel war of 1967, they became the inadvertent host to Palestinian terrorists. The attacks on Israel from Lebanese soil constantly brought the IDF to Beirut over the years. Multiple wars weakened the economy significantly and left no scope for foreign investments. The country has no active government for the last four years. The Iran-backed Hezbollah staked its claim as Lebanon’s self-proclaimed defenders. Iran used Hezbollah to launch attacks against Israel, and the Lebanese people were left to deal with Israel’s wrath. This type of conflict is the scenario even today in Lebanon. The Lebanese people are going through a challenging time with food shortage, massive inflation, unemployment, poverty, and lack of governance.
