Republic at E end of Mediterranean (7)

I believe the answer is:

lebanon

(Other definitions for lebanon that I've seen before include "E. Mediterranean nation" , "Neighbour of Israel" , "Republic on Mediterranean" , "Middle Eastern region" , "Country with cedars" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
