tayyar.org - Calls to lift Syrian entry bans amid security concerns
The Prime Minister, Nohad El-Shami, decided to eliminate legal obstacles preventing Syrians from entering Lebanon and ordered General Security to facilitate their entry without fees, even in the absence of reciprocal treatment from Syria. The request included the cancellation of approximately 640,000 entry ban documents issued against Syrians who are violators or undocumented, starting from October, with a promise to unify procedures between the two sides. However, this step has raised security concerns about the potential influx of large numbers of Syrians, including members of jihadist groups, especially given the deteriorating economic situation and increased smuggling activities. Security agencies fear that the implementation could result in more than half a million Syrians entering in a short period, complicating identity verification processes.
