Foreign Ministry Issues Statement
The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, upon direct instructions from Minister Youssef Raji, in cooperation with the Consulate General in New York, corrected the inscription on the commemorative monument in Elizabeth Berger Park in New York, which honors the pioneers of the Pen League—writers and poets of the diaspora. The original plaque had mistakenly identified them as Syrian writers, overlooking their Lebanese origins. After intensive communications, the old plaque was removed and replaced with a new one containing a corrected text that accurately highlights the Lebanese identity of Mikhael Naimi, Khalil Gibran, Ameen Rihani, and Elia Abu Madi, founders of the Arab literary renaissance in the diaspora since 1920.
