Report: US Jerusalem Move Raises Naturalization Concern in Lebanon
2017-12-10
[AnNahar] The repercussions of the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital does not only lead to wars and threatens regional and international peace, but also raises fears in Leb of the naturalization of Paleostinian refugees in the tiny Mediterranean country, al-Joumhouria daily reported Saturday.
I don’t see how naturalization of the Paleostinian refugees follows from recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol, but I agree that giving the residents of Ein al-Hilweh full citizenship will have the kind of interesting repercussions that are earnt by sticking with the permanent refugee option for 69 years.
A recommendation issued by the Parliament during its Friday meeting indicates the danger inherent in the American decision on the Jerusalem and its Arab and Islamic, Christian identity that leads to wars and threatens regional and international peace, said the daily.

The resolution not only threatens Jerusalem, but also threatens Leb in a fundamental way and raises fears of permanent naturalization of Paleostinian refugees on its land, which endangers the country's composition and unity, it added.

Lebanese authorities at state levels have repeatedly warned against the measure considering it an"existential threat."

Sources close to the presidency told the daily, reminding of President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
...

's firm position in that regard, saying "the president has stressed his firm determination to thwart any attempt aiming to impose naturalization of Paleostinians in this country."

The daily also quoted sources to Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet...
saying: "Trump's decision on Jerusalem is a preliminary attempt for naturalization of Paleostinians," stressing "we resisted the Israeli occupation, we will similarly resist settlement and prevent it with all our strength and means."
