Lebanese PM Reports $20B War Cost
The cost of the two Israeli wars on Lebanon exceeds $20 billion, and is expected to reach $27 billion by the end of 2026. These figures include direct damages and economic losses, with around 9,000 deaths and 30,000 injuries, in addition to the displacement of over 250,000 Lebanese and the destruction of approximately 91,000 housing units. The wars have caused the country's economy to deteriorate, shifting from a growth rate of 4.2% last year to a contraction of 6.4% this year, amid rising inflation resulting from higher oil prices, decreased tourism, and remittances from abroad. The Prime Minister emphasized Lebanon's need for significant international and Arab support, asserting that stability can only be achieved through the full control of the state over its territory and its authority to decide on matters of war and peace.
