Report: Salam proposes to Berri cabinet session on arms monopoly declaration
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has returned from Paris with a proposal to Speaker Nabih Berri on holding a special cabinet session for discussing the file of arms and declaring Lebanon's commitment to the implementation of the state's monopoly over arms, al-Akhbar newspaper reported. 'Although Salam said that he is not committed to the agenda proposed by (U.S. envoy Tom) Barrack, he tried with the parliament speaker to reach a 'Lebanese initiative,'' the daily said. 'Salam justified his stance by saying that that would contribute to thwarting the plans for withdrawing UNIFIL from the South and preventing the Americans from declaring escalatory stances that might become a cover for a new Israeli aggression against Lebanon,' the newspaper added.

Salam says Marcon meeting was positive, contrary to reports
by Naharnet Newsdesk 28 July 2025, 13:52 Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has dismissed the reports that spread a negative atmosphere about his Paris meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron as well as his meeting with Speaker Nabih Berri and U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's mission. 'I wonder where they get this news from. The meeting with Macron was positive, France is supportive of Lebanon and the magnitude of French support is linked to the developments that might happen. But I'm reassured that the renewal of the UNIFIL forces' mandate will take place at the end of August,' Salam said in an interview with al-Liwaa newspaper. As for his expectations for the coming period, Salam said: 'Things are open and nothing is final yet.' Asked about the media reports claiming that France and the U.S. want an Israeli buffer zone in south Lebanon, Salam said he has not heard of such demands.
