[Sikeliot]

He can pass in either place in my opinion. In the first picture though, he looks more Levantine.. something about his eyes.

[Ebrel]

Anyone going to classify?

[Nurzat]

looks european jewish. definitely not levantine. we've got thousands of arabs here and he would be totally but totally off their group

[Englisc]

Med.

[Anusiya]

He looks rather native. He also reminds me of Steve Carrel a bit.

[Ebrel]

I don't think he would be particularly unusual in the Levant.

[GrebluBro]

He looks typical Italian American or Jewish American...atypical Levantine

Ethnic Arabians are not native to the Levant. He looks like the native people who stayed behind. The people you are seeing are probably of Bedouin descent.
