Christian states in the Levant

Christian states in the Levant refer to regions historically inhabited or governed by Christian communities, such as Lebanon, parts of Syria, and historically in Palestine. Lebanon, notably, has a significant Christian population and a political system designed to balance religious groups. These regions often have shared cultural and religious traditions, and their histories include periods of coexistence and conflict. Today, Christian communities remain influential in cultural, political, and religious life, maintaining their heritage amidst a predominantly Muslim region. The concept of "Christian states" emphasizes the presence and historical importance of Christianity in shaping the Levant's diverse identity.
