The document discusses how the Syrian crisis and international responses are negatively impacting Lebanon and potentially pushing it into a "fragility trap". It argues that while Lebanon was not previously a fragile state, it now faces significant stresses due to hosting over 1.3 million Syrian refugees, including economic burdens, security issues, and social/political tensions. International aid has largely circumvented the Lebanese government, exacerbating these challenges. The document proposes a more pragmatic approach, including classifying refugees and encouraging some to return based on need or origin, and providing long-term support to both refugees and the Lebanese state to enhance security, government capacity, and economic opportunities. It raises concerns about potentially undermining another state's stability and sovereignty
