  • Lebanon & Hezbollah Fact Sheet
    Lebanon & Hezbollah Fact Sheet Government Lebanon is a non-functioning Republic, where 3 prominent offices are divided amongst the different religious groups. The President must be a Christian, the Prime Minister is a Sunni Muslim, and the Speaker of the Assembly is a Shia Muslim. There is a unicameral National Assembly, with 128 seats and members directly elected in multi-seat constituencies by majority vote. Assembly members serve 4-year terms and seats are apportioned among the Christian and Muslim denominations. In Oct of 2016, Christian, former general, and ally of Iran, Michel Aoun was chosen as President. In Dec. of 2016, Saad Al-Hariri became Prime Minister for the second time. He quit and then un-resigned in late 2017, decrying Hezbollah control over the country. Population Lebanon’s population totals 6.1 million (including refugees). It is 54% Muslim (roughly evenly divided between Sunni and Shia), 40.5% Christian (broken down further into 21% Maronite Catholic, 8% Greek Orthodox, 5% Greek Catholic, 6.5% other Christian), 5.6 % Druze, and other. Maps courtesy of CIA World Factbook The total amount of refugees in Lebanon are about 1.8 million. There are 450,000 Palestinian refugees and 1,500,000 Syrian refugees. The Modern History of Lebanon In the 1920’s, the French carved off the nation now called Lebanon from Syria to create a Christian majority Arab nation. However, because of emigration and higher birthrates, Muslim Lebanese now make up a solid majority. (The Shia in particular had a higher birthrate.) Post-1948, a large group of Palestinian Arabs – mostly Sunni Arab – also moved to Lebanon, further upsetting the balance.
