Qatar’s Prime Minister said on February 4th that his country would support Lebanon to rebuild, help Lebanese institutions and work on joint projects following the creation of a Lebanese government, according to The Arab Weekly via Reuters.

Qatar has given the Lebanese army grants for fuel and salaries. Lebanon needs foreign funding to help meet a massive reconstruction bill from last year’s war with Israel and Hezbollah, in which Israeli strikes destroyed vast areas of the country.

After a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Qatar would continue providing support to the Lebanese army, during a news conference in Beirut.
