Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday that “no one negotiates for Lebanon except for the Lebanese state” - in his first comments since the two-week ceasefire was reached between the US and Israel over Iran.
Addressing the debate over whether Lebanon was included in the ceasefire, the PM refused to go into details about ongoing contacts.
Instead, he stressed that the Lebanese state was performing its duties in this regard and is mobilizing all efforts to help the country out of the crisis it was dragged into against its will.
