Salam says govt's top priority is keeping Lebanon out of new war
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Monday during a ministerial meeting that protecting Lebanon and avoiding any involvement in a new war represent the government's foremost priorities during the current phase.
U.S. President Donald Trump cast doubt on renewed fighting with Iran, telling CNN it was "highly unlikely," ahead of a meeting with mediator Qatar's prime minister on Monday. But Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said Sunday that Israel is not finished with Iran.
Even if a war with Iran breaks out, whether Hezbollah would participate remains uncertain.
