What is asked of Lebanon? What will Lebanon contribute to Greater Palestine? What will Lebanon gain?
Palestine in Lebanon changes the Israeli border from a war zone to a security zone of economic progress by providing jobs to refugees from camps in Lebanon.
Nearly 400,000 Palestinian refugees (200,000 living in 12 camps) will no longer be wards of the state of Lebanon and UNRWA, but self-sufficient workers with highways and cities to build.
Lebanon has rejected the idea of allowing refugees currently living within its border to permanently settle in Lebanon. The Akbar Plan does not ask Lebanon to take on the refugees as Lebanese citizens but as resident aliens, who will contribute to the economic strength of Lebanon.
