Syrians Entering Lebanon Require Visas for the First Time

Lesson Brief Al Arabiya
On January 5th, Al Arabiya reported that for the first time ever Syrians entering Lebanon are required to obtain an entry visa. Since the establishment of the states, citizens of Lebanon and Syria have enjoyed free access across the border, but with the ongoing war in Syria and the influx of Syrian refugees, Lebanese authorities have decided to enact these new protocols. Lebanese officials have stressed that the Syrian refugee situation is exacerbating a delicate political situation in Lebanon and straining the country's resources.
