(34,013 posts)Palestinian Israeli citizens have the same rights as Israeli citizens. (Except they cannot be dual citizens)
Palestinian refugees do not. However, Israel limits the number of Palestinian citizens.
So does Lebanon. Lebanon was established as a Christian majority nation. It is now a 60% Muslim majority nation. (The muslims are about evenly Sunni and Shia) Refugees are Sunnis. Hence, they will stay refugees because Lebanon has rules about Maronites, Sunnis, Shia, Armenians and Druze.
Palestinian refugees are treated worse in Lebanon than they are in Israel. They live in shacks and are not allowed to build either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians_in_Lebanon In one of his series of articles accusing the government of Lebanon of practising "apartheid" against the resident Palestinian community, Toameh described the "special legal status" as "foreigners" assigned uniquely to Palestinians, "a fact which has deprived them of health care, social services, property ownership and education. Even worse, Lebanese law bans Palestinians from working in many jobs. This means that Palestinians cannot work in the public services and institutions run by the government such as schools and hospitals. Unlike Israel, Lebanese public hospitals do not admit Palestinians for medical treatment or surgery."[31] Journalist Ben-Dror Yemini describes Palestinians in Lebanon as living "under various restrictions that could fill a chapter on Arab apartheid against the Palestinians. One of the most severe restrictions is a ban on construction. This ban is enforced even in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp, bombed by the Lebanese army in 2007.[32] Calling on Lebanon to change the systematic discrimination against his people, Palestinian journalist Rami George Khouri compared Lebanese treatment of Palestinians to the "Apartheid system" of South Africa.[33]
