Foreign Affairs: Xinhua News Agency reported today that Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Sunday that Lebanon is making efforts to stop the ongoing war and stressed the need to preserve national unity and rebuild the state.
Salam made the remarks while commemorating the anniversary of the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war on April 13, 1975. He said the aim is not only to prevent a return to civil war, but also to build a just, strong and united state for all people.
He stressed the importance of fully implementing the Taif Agreement, calling for the correction of any misapplications that violate its letter and spirit.
The Taif Agreement, negotiated in Saudi Arabia in 1989 and ratified later that year, ended a 15-year civil war in Lebanon and reasserted the Lebanese government’s authority in the south.
It is noteworthy that Hezbollah entered the US-Israel-Iran conflict on March 2, firing rockets from southern Lebanon towards Israel for the first time since a ceasefire on November 27, 2024, prompting Israel to intensify its military campaign targeting several areas across the country.
