UN Statement: Lebanon's sole negotiator is the state
Lebanese Prime Minister Nizar Salameh emphasized the importance of restoring trust between nations, affirming that this requires respecting international law, achieving justice regarding the Beirut port explosion, rebuilding institutions, and regaining national decision-making and sovereignty over territories. He explained that Lebanon faces critical challenges related to the people's trust, control of weapons by the state, and the recovery of occupied lands, especially from Israel, through negotiated talks under international auspices, with an ongoing commitment to fulfill these obligations within a clear timetable. He also praised the role of the United Nations Force (UNIFIL) in maintaining stability and stressed that regaining territory also involves returning residents to their villages and reconstructing affected areas, with continued international support. Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of respecting Lebanese sovereignty over its entire territory, preventing external interventions or proxy conflicts, to achieve lasting stability. He warned of the risks of escalation in the region, particularly in light of Iranian attacks on Gulf countries and threats to regional security.
