It must be understood that most of these towns are not purely Christian and have many Sunni and Shia inhabitants, who occupied the land even before the Christians arrived.

In this way, this Israeli approach to the Christian communities can only be described as a double-edged sword. While they claim to protect the Christians, these people are also being pressured and subordinated. That is why, when the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed a few days ago that some Christian villages in Lebanon had asked to be annexed by Israel, it came as a huge shock to all the Lebanese and especially to the inhabitants of these Christian villages, who expressed outrage.
