This is Beirut': Lebanese ready for peace with Israel, drinks in Tel Aviv, analyst tells 'Post'
“A lot of Lebanese people tell me all the time that they want to visit Israel and that we’re welcome there,” independent journalist and political analyst Selena Ryan told The Jerusalem Post on Monday, a day after her latest collaboration with This Is Beirut went viral.
Ryan, who is serving in the IDF and describes her political outlook as right-wing, invited Lebanese civilians to join Israelis for beers in Tel Aviv and arak, an anise-flavored alcoholic drink popular across the Levant, in Jaffa in a video that has amassed tens of thousands of views on X/Twitter alone.
The video notably featured Deputy Mayor Guy Avner, who said it was “only a matter of time before peace comes between the people of Israel and the people of Lebanon.
“Come to Tel Aviv, have a beer, enjoy the nightlife, enjoy the sea, enjoy the weather…We’re going to be happy to host you,” Avner said.
