Arabic-speaking country with a cedar tree on its flag (7)

I believe the answer is:

lebanon

(Other definitions for lebanon that I've seen before include "Nab Noel in eastern Med. country" , "far from home here" , "Neighbour of Israel" , "Ban Noel from the country" , "Middle Eastern region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
