Lebanese PM: Only Lebanon can negotiate on its behalf amid ceasefire debate

In his first comment on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire announcement and the debate over whether Lebanon is included, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told Asharq Al-Awsat that “no one negotiates over Lebanon except the Lebanese state.”

Salam declined to elaborate on ongoing communications regarding a ceasefire in Lebanon, emphasizing that the Lebanese state is fulfilling its responsibilities in this matter. He added that the government is mobilizing all its resources to help the country emerge from the crisis imposed on it without its consent.
