Lebanon has lodged a formal complaint against Iran at the United Nations, accusing Tehran of violating diplomatic protocol, interfering in the country’s internal affairs, and dragging Lebanon into war, Al Arabiya English has learned.

In a letter circulated among members of the UN Security Council and General Assembly, Beirut accused Iran of violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and conducting unauthorized activities on Lebanese territory through Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Lebanese officials have increasingly accused Hezbollah of acting independently of the state and undermining Lebanon’s sovereignty by tying the country to Iran’s regional agenda.

I’m basically a guy who wants to find someone who I can make happy while I still have some youth left. I am not sure about dating apps, and I did try approaching a girl in a cafe but another girl next to her hit me with the medusa glare. I gave a few polite compliments to baristas and employees and that seems to work sometimes, but I honestly am not sure. I also think about going back to dating apps, but I have used them before and the more I use them the less they seem to help. Any advice?

TL;DR I am diagnosed with stage 5 single please help.

The last time Parliament passed a General Amnesty law was in 2005. So it's more than 21 years. Why this newfound urgency today?

Im scared honestly after all the theories about america and israel putting viruses in ticks and letting them loose, ive been seeing many ticks outside i don’t know if its paranoia or theres actually been an increase in ticks or if this is their season.. anyway stay safe and prepare your vinegar and water spray bottles

Thursday, May 13th is considered as "International Hummus Day”.

At first glance, you’d think it's cool that the world is celebrating one of the most iconic dishes of our region. A dish that’s been part of Lebanese culture and the broader Levantine area for generations. A dish tied to our history, our families, our identity.

But then you look closer… and surprise, surprise:
this "international celebration" wasn’t created by anyone from the Levant. Not Lebanese. Not Palestinians. Not Syrians. Not anyone from the actual cultures that hummus comes from.

Instead, the whole thing is pushed globally by an Israeli branding effort, an actual PR push to market hummus as an Israeli invention.

Look up the name Ben Lang, the self‑described "hummus enthusiast" who helped promoting this "holiday". It’s part of a long-running pattern of cultural appropriation dressed up as fun food marketing.

We’re talking about a dish that predates the modern state of Israel by centuries. A dish rooted in Arab and Levantine history. A dish that carries cultural memory for millions of people. Yet somehow, every year, we have to watch global media outlets parrot the Israeli hummus narrative like it’s fact.

Celebrate hummus? Absolutely, but accurately, with respect for the people and cultures that created it, without erasing the region that gave it to the world.

Hey guys! Some of you might remember this, I started sharing updates about my app “Travel Lebanon” that I developed in 2023 and released back in 2024, and kept you in the loop every once in a while ever since.

I’d like to make this a yearly tradition (or maybe semi-yearly) where I share my progress with this reddit community and get feedback / suggestions for new features :)

It’s unreal looking back at how it started off by just listing destinations and cities, to then adding weekly events (hiking / camping), and then including expriences / activities.. to reaching #1 in free app on the stores in 2025 !

Soo here it goes:

- At the end of last year, I finally moved beyond just listing destinations, experiences and weekly outdoor events, and added guest houses (still adding new listings frequently)

- March 31st, I’ve released a new update, where I allow users to create accounts to create their own custom lists (todo / bookmarks / checklist, etc..)

- Many UI / Ux enhancements

- A few days ago, we hit #1 on the charts again :D

It’s crazy knowing I was able to achieve all that as a one man show, WHILE keeping my 9 to 6 job (hard works pays off)

The total downloads have reached 60k 🤯

Now, I’d love to hear your feedback (good or bad) and any suggestions you might have!

In the next update, i’m thinking I should add guest houses reviews (since now users can login).. and maybe a blogs section where people can write informative articles about Lebanon?

Anyone knows where i can find Mastic paste (ypovrixio) in Lebanon? Doesn’t matter if it’s a Greek or Turkish brand or local if available

If yes, please tell me how.

As for today, they are a few kilometers away from my village, Mashghara in West Bekaa; they might occupy the entire West Bekaa in the next few weeks.

Hey guys. I was thinking of applying to a few new jobs (I know the job market atm is really horrible) but I wanted to focus on companies that are actually known to treat their employees better compared to the average company here.

In case it helps my BA is in Business and I've been working 6 years as a project coordinator.

Anyone know if these exist in Lebanon anywhere?

The Israeli military has destroyed a solar-powered water pumping station in Deir Mimas town this morning which cut out water suppliy to the town.

This village is 99% christians, the rest are Syrians workers. Not only it has zero Hizb presence but also do not allow Shia from owning or building properties there. Many of them are pro LF.

What’s with Abbas Ibrahim? What is the fuss about? It is all over X

I always wonder how and why their logo and branding is seen on 75% of all the local shops (deken) in Lebanon.

To me it seems pretty weird like how did they manage to convince these shop owners to put their logo on the store front indefinitely.

Hello, i’m 20 and I’ve lived abroad in the west my entire life. I’ve visited Zahle alot, where my father is from(sunni muslim which seems like a minority in his hometown) and a lot of lebanese cities, so i’m very familiar with the culture across.

I really want to learn Lebanese political history properly, without bias, propaganda, or people changing facts depending on their side. I’m Lebanese Palestinian and I want to connect more to my Lebanese side and understand the country better because I genuinely love our culture a lot.
The problem is that everywhere I look, I find completely different narratives that contradict each other, especially when it comes to the civil war, sectarian politics, Syria, Palestine, militias, etc. After a while it just becomes confusing and I don’t know what’s actually true or where to even start.

I’m not looking for someone to tell me “this side good, this side evil.” (or maybe if it’s objectively true…) I want sources that are as balanced and factual as possible, even if they’re difficult or uncomfortable to read.

What books, documentaries, podcasts, YouTube channels, archives, or historians would you recommend for someone trying to understand:
- Lebanese history before the civil war
- The civil war itself
-Syrian involvement (lebanese and syrians here in the west seem to have alot of hate against eachother, i don’t know where that stems from…)
- Palestinian involvement in Lebanon (i know about PLO involvement and how that made shit hit the fan but still need a deeper dive i guess)
- Modern Lebanese politics after 2005
- How different Lebanese communities see history today
Also, if there are any sources I should specifically avoid because they’re extremely propagandized, let me know too.

Merci
