The Biden administration said it was going to authorise certain Lebanese nationals currently in the US to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), allowing them to remain for the next 18 months and apply for work permits.
The announcement comes as Israel continues attacking Lebanon. Any Lebanese nationals who were already in the US as of 16 October will be able to apply for TPS.
