+1 for Lebanon, and even Syria should be included

Lebanon is already allowed to compete (their national broadcaster Télé-Liban is a full EBU member) as is Egypt (National Media Authority), Algeria (Etablissement Public de Télévision Algérienne) and Tunisia (Télévision tunisienne). They just opt not to.

In this thread we are talking about inclusion in UEFA vs AFC vs CAF, not Eurovision. Lebanon is in the AFC, Egypt is in the CAF.
