Calls to Deport Syrians in Bekaa Following Bread Shortage<\/b> [here]<\/b><\/a><\/p>

Bekaa residents have been reporting \u201cresentment\u201d towards Syrians over the past several months with the ongoing\u00a0 bread shortage, according to an article in Al Akhbar newspaper. As a result, reports of attacks on Syrians\u2019 shops and motorcycles saw an increase, as well as calls for deportation in Baalbek.<\/span><\/p>

The article cited that the lack of raw materials, such as flour, alongside the demand rate for bread, is causing \u201ctensions\u201d between Lebanese and Syrians in queue lines for bread.<\/span><\/p>

UN Issues a $546 Million Appeal for Lebanese, Migrants and Refugees<\/b> [here]<\/b><\/a><\/p>

UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Lebanon Najat Rochdi revised and issued an appeal of $546 Million for \u201cmore than one million Lebanese, refugees and migrants.\u201d She stated that \u201cLebanon\u2019s crisis is affecting everyone, everywhere across the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The article reported that \u201c2.2 million vulnerable Lebanese, 86,000 migrants and 200,000 Palestine refugees in Lebanon currently require emergency aid; in addition to 1.5 million Syrian refugees that are unable to afford or even access health, food, electricity, water, education and waste-water management, not to mention lifesaving protection services.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It is unclear whether the appeal is part of the 2022 <\/span>Lebanon Crisis Response Plan<\/span><\/a> (LCRP), which is a $3.2 billion plan, or if it is in addition to it.<\/span><\/p>

Syrian Newspaper Endorses Deportation Efforts in Lebanon and Turkey<\/b> [here]<\/b><\/a><\/p>

An article published by the Syrian \u201cAl Watan\u201d Newspaper cites the Lebanese Minister of Labor Moustafa Bayram, who expressed that the issue of Syrian refugees -referred to as \u201cimmigrants\u201d-\u00a0 has been a burden on Lebanon\u2019s economy, \u201cat a time when Turkish Police are exercising an oppressive campaign against Syrians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The article reports that the Minister adopted some \u201clabor and career-related measures\u201d after the 6th Brussels conference. \u201cThey told us during the Brussels conference that the international community has no intention of sending them [Syrians] back to Syria,\u201d Bayram said, \u201cwhich is why we took it upon ourselves to limit 126 careers to Lebanese nationals only, and that exceptions are only made to facilitate the work of the organization [requesting an exception].\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The article then follows with reports of Turkish Police arresting and deporting several Syrians, alongside reports of racism and hate speech that \u201cmake Syrian refugees think of alternatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Published in a newspaper supported by Assad\u2019s regime, the article\u2019s use of racist discourse implies an endorsement of the Lebanese government\u2019s campaign to deport Syrians. The choice of vocabulary is worth noting: Lebanese government officials refer to Syrians as \u201cimmigrants,\u201d whereas the article uses \u201crefugees\u201d in the reports from Turkey. The article also states 126 excluded careers, while Bayram said in another <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> that the list is 127 careers.<\/span><\/p>

Minister of Labor Praised for Excluding Non-Lebanese Nationals from 127 Jobs <\/b>[here]<\/b><\/a><\/p>

Baalbek Municipalities Union held a meeting with the Minister of Labor Moustafa Bayram, during which the Syndicate and Workers\u2019 Officer Chafic Chehade praised the ministry\u2019s \u201cachievements\u201d and regulations to exclude foreign employees from certain jobs.<\/span><\/p>

The achievements included \u201cimposing a standard unified contract (SUC) for migrant domestic workers,\u201d which is only vaguely mentioned and does not address the <\/span>flaws<\/span><\/a> surrounding the proposed SUC <\/span>draft<\/span><\/a>, and the \u201crecruitment and employment platform,\u201d which was the highlight of the meeting.<\/span><\/p>

As for regulations, Bayram pointed out the Ministry\u2019s plan to limit 127 careers to Lebanese employees only. He said that this list of careers has been \u201cpublished on the platform.\u201d He also stated that \u201cany company or organization that wants to hire a non-Lebanese is required to publish a job posting on the platform. After that, 2 weeks must pass before it\u2019s permitted to hire a non-Lebanese.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The only list that we were able to find on the ministry\u2019s website was in <\/span>Regulation<\/span><\/a> N. 96\/1 signed by the Minister in November of 2021. The regulation states that the previous list of careers that were allowed for foreign employees is rendered obsolete by this regulation. Furthermore, the list excludes non-Lebanese from \u201cmanagerial roles of any kind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
