Trump Lifts Ban on Direct Flights to Lebanon

The US has lifted a ban on direct flights to Lebanon that had been in place since 1985. The ban was initially imposed in response to Hezbollah's hijacking of TWA Flight 847, a terrorist act that led to heightened security concerns. The decision to lift the ban is seen as a significant development in US-Lebanon relations. Direct flights between the US and Lebanon are now permitted, marking a major shift in aviation policy.
