Lebanon Urges Restoring State Authority Ahead of UN Assembly
Lebanese Prime Minister Nohra Salameh delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in which he affirmed that Lebanon faces three main challenges: restoring the trust of its people, confining weapons to the hands of the state, and achieving full sovereignty over its territory in accordance with the Taif Agreement and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. He pointed out that Lebanon continues to suffer from the consequences of the Beirut port explosion and the paralysis of state institutions, reaffirming his country's commitment to necessary reforms to restore international confidence and rebuild the state. He also emphasized that restoring sovereignty includes the Israeli occupation's complete withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the return of residents to their villages. He stated that Lebanon's success requires ongoing international support. Furthermore, he clarified that stability in Lebanon is also linked to regional peace, especially amid Israeli escalation and regional crises. He called for expanding the Security Council's representation to include Africa and the Arab world, with limitations on the use of the veto power on major humanitarian issues.
