Nawaf Salam: Negotiation Best for Lebanon
Lebanese Prime Minister Nazih Naufal Saad clarified that negotiations with Israel were not Lebanon's only option, but the best one at the current time. He emphasized that Lebanon's interests come first, and that the state possesses all the political and diplomatic tools necessary. The negotiations experienced Israeli stubbornness, despite Lebanese demands being not new, reaffirming that the withdrawal of armed groups and weapons from southern Lebanon is not a new demand, and that this issue is linked to Lebanon's prior commitment to Security Council Resolution 1701. At the same time, Hezbollah refused to accept a ceasefire and stressed that any agreement must begin with a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. They consider the return of displaced persons, reconstruction, and the release of prisoners to be fundamental conditions for any future agreement.
