Lebanon hosts nearly one million Syrian refugees, the largest per-capita refugee population globally, straining resources and sparking debate over return timelines. Since Assad's government stabilized in 2024, regional pressure has mounted for refugee repatriation, though security concerns, infrastructure damage in Syria, and humanitarian risks complicate rapid returns. The question of acceleration reflects competing priorities: Lebanon's economic crisis and social tensions versus refugees' safety and right to voluntary return.
