At Arab Summit, Salam calls for obliging Israel to stop its attacks
At an Arab summit in Baghdad, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam denounced "daily Israeli violations" of Lebanese sovereignty and "the ongoing Israeli occupation of positions" in the South.
He said Lebanon was working to "fully implement" a United Nations Security Council resolution that formed the basis of the ceasefire.
The resolution says Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers should be the only forces in south Lebanon, and calls for the disarmament of all non-state groups.
Salam again urged international pressure "to oblige Israel to stop its attacks and immediately and fully withdraw from all Lebanese territory."
