The UAE Issues A Warning Against Traveling To Lebanon Amidst Rising Tensions In The Country
On Friday, October 18 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) issued a warning for all UAE citizens against travelling to Lebanon, until further notice over the recent security developments in the region.
The UAE had recently lifted the travel ban for Lebanon this year, which was strictly implemented since 2016 as a result of the Syrian war.
The tensions in Lebanon are rising because of the government’s new plans to impose high taxes during a period where the country’s going through a severe economic crisis.
