๐Ÿ“… 23 September 1946 ๐Ÿ“ Palestina

The Lebanese parliament approves the Labor Law, which states in Article 59 that foreign workers enjoy "upon dismissal from service the same rights enjoyed by Lebanese workers, on condition of reciprocity; they are required to obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labor." After the Nakba, this provision will be applied to displaced Palestinians in Lebanon and will make it difficult for them to obtain legal status in the labor market despite their being registered at the Ministry of Interior and having the right of indefinite residency in Lebanon.
