A French-Lebanese school has been subjected to heavy criticism on social media after one of its teachers told students that "Israel" borders Lebanon, during a geography lesson.

Earlier this week, the incident went viral on social media after the father of a student, Louay Ghandour, said his daughter and her classmates were forced to write "Israel" instead of Palestine on a map they were handed.

In his post, Ghandour also wrote that when his daughter cut off her teacher, telling her that Palestine is the country that borders Lebanon, the latter ignored the child.

Soon after Ghandour's post went viral on social media, it sparked outrage among hundreds who deemed the educator's actions "unacceptable" and "offensive".
