Bassil Announces Implementation of Law on Restoring Lebanese Nationality for Expats

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil announced on Thursday the launch of the implementation of the law on allowing expatriates to regain their Lebanese nationality.

He urged during a press conference on the expats that they should head to Lebanese embassies the world over to restore their nationality.

“This law was a dream and its now a reality,” he stressed.

“We are all soldiers for nationality and identity and we are soldiers for Lebanon to preserve the state and protect independence.”

Expats are the cornerstone of spreading Lebanese culture all over the world.

“You are the most effective way for Lebanon to relay its message to world,” Bassil stated.

Lawmakers from the Lebanese Forces and Free Patriotic Movement signed in 2015 the draft-law on allowing expatriates to regain their Lebanese nationality.

It was approved during a legislative session later that year.

Typical Lebanese self centered politician. What is Lebanon's message to the world? Corruption, sectarianism, chaos, lack of justice, corrupt institutions, militias and drug dealers, pollution, poisoned food, bribes, .....?

Cutie;

This so called foreign minister should not be talking about Lebanon's message to the world. We all saw on TV his message to the women of the world. He was selling Lebanon's top female diplomat in New York to the highest bidder. Carolyn confided in me about her disgust with this medieval fouthian.

If you look at it, it's just another attempt to gain money from tourism. Most of it will go to Iran/Hezbollah's illegal activities anyways and not the Lebanese as a whole. I've lost my respect for the country and all those sellouts ages ago. One thing I always learned and saw repeatedly time and time again: There's always an ulterior motive, so look at this ask yourself the real reason; There is NEVER an honest open to heart gesture from Lebanon, there's always fine print ;).

Bigidiot! Cut it out with the "zionist" rhetoric. Anyone who doesn't share your opinion is supposed to be a zionist?
Retard.
