Lebanon and Syria move toward a new page, with refugees and the border first

Lebanon ·

The Lebanese government is preparing a high-level visit to Damascus at the end of the month, with refugees, missing persons, detainees and border security leading the agenda. The effort to open a new page is complicated by the legacy of the former Syrian regime and differing priorities.

Relations between Lebanon and Syria were strained for years under the Assad government, which fell in December 2024, and Lebanon hosts a large number of Syrian refugees.
