An Israeli-American surgeon was removed from the program of a Lebanese medical conference after participants raised objections to her nationality and past service in the Israeli military. Under Lebanese law, it is illegal for Lebanese individuals to communicate or have contact with Israelis under the 1955 Anti-Israel Boycott Law and the Lebanese Penal Code.
The surgeon had been scheduled to appear remotely.
Organizers withdrew the invitation following the complaints. No further details about the conference date or medical specialty were provided in the report. The incident reflects the enforcement of existing Lebanese statutes that restrict interactions with Israeli citizens.
