There are some elements, however, to give credence to Lebanon’s ownership of the Farms. Area residents in the 1940s and 1950s have land deeds stamped by the Lebanese government that support the Lebanese government position. Dr. Asher Kaufman, a professor at The Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, while doing research on this subject found important documents in French government archives. According to those documents, the Shebaa Farms could be considered to be located within today’s Lebanon boundaries.
