Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Monday reiterated his firm support for the Arab Peace Initiative, emphasizing the refugees’ right of return and the need for a two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Speaking after a meeting with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Salam underlined that his remarks were fully aligned with Lebanon’s official stance. “I did not say a word beyond what was agreed upon in the ministerial policy statement,” he said, reaffirming his adherence to the government’s declared position on regional issues.
The prime minister also discussed the pressing issue of reconstruction efforts with Speaker Berri. “I confirmed my commitment to the reconstruction file,” Salam added.
It is worth noting that in an interview with CNN on Friday, Salam stated that any normalization of relations with Israel must be preceded by a just and comprehensive peace.
