Qatar FM calls for Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon
Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs has reaffirmed his country’s support for Lebanon.
Qatar pledges substantial assistance to Lebanon's struggling economy, power grid and southern reconstruction efforts. Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani announced this during a meeting with Lebanese counterpart Nawaf Salam in Beirut, stating the Qatari government will fund and implement a solar power plant project.
Lebanon's electricity sector is in dire need of rehabilitation, with the state electricity company being one of the country's biggest debtors. The Qatari official emphasized that this move is crucial for Lebanon's financial crisis. The Qatari government has a long history of supporting Lebanon and mediating regional political crises, having provided tens of millions of dollars to the Lebanese army over the years.
