Salam says country has had enough 'reckless' wars for foreign interests

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Friday said his country had enough "reckless" wars for foreign interests, calling for Arab and international support in Beirut's negotiations with Israel.

Speaking at an NGO dinner, Salam said that he hoped to "mobilize all Arab and international support to bolster our position in the negotiations" with Israel, shortly after the last round of talks ended and extended the ongoing truce for 45 days.

In an implicit rebuke to Hezbollah, which joined the Middle East war in support of Iran, Salam said the country had "enough of these reckless adventures serving foreign projects or interests" and that the Lebanese military should be the only armed body in the country.
