Lebanon’s PM warns Hezbollah against joining another war
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says Lebanon has already paid a heavy price, as fears grow of renewed US-Israeli strikes on Iran and further regional conflict.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam cautioned against Lebanon participating in another regional conflict, signaling his disapproval to Hezbollah. In a statement on Wednesday, Salam expressed his concern about the potential dangers of dragging the nation into a new war for external interests. He reiterated his warning that Lebanon must not again become a stage for the disputes of others, emphasizing that the country has already suffered significant losses.
Hezbollah's involvement in Lebanon's affairs has led to two wars with Israel in the past two years, most recently in March when it supported Tehran's actions. Salam stressed that Lebanon has already paid a heavy price for these conflicts, and he is determined to prevent a recurrence. Recent days have seen growing speculation about possible US-Israeli strikes on Iran following the US midterm elections and Israeli general elections, along with stern warnings from both nations.
The threat of renewed hostilities has prompted Israel to launch a major military campaign in Lebanon, including a ground invasion, which has resulted in the deaths of over 4,300 people. Israel continues to maintain a presence in southern Lebanon, where it has systematically destroyed numerous villages.
