Abstract
There is an on-going debate in Israel on the current political background of the water crisis with Lebanon whether the water shortage in recent years in this region has to do with global warming On the face of it the analyses of temperature as well as rainfall trends are not in agreement with global warming trends. It is the purpose of this Note to show that the observed changes can indeed be linked directly to global warming predictions.
