Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has welcomed the ceasefire announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump, calling it a central Lebanese demand pursued since the first day of the war. He stated it was a primary objective during his meeting with Trump in Washington on Tuesday. Salam also thanked regional and international actors for their efforts, though the statement did not specify which entities. This official endorsement from the Lebanese government contrasts with Hezbollah's public rejection of the same ceasefire agreement.
