PM Salam to Hezbollah: My Door Is Open for Dialogue

No deviations, full commitment to ministerial agenda

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Monday reaffirmed his full commitment to the ministerial policy statement, saying he has not deviated “by a single word” from what was agreed upon.

Speaking from Ain al-Tineh after a meeting with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Salam said they discussed the reconstruction file and reiterated his government's commitment to moving it forward.

Addressing his relationship with Hezbollah, Salam said: “I’ve left plenty of space for cordiality with Mohammad Raad and the group. The doors of my home and the Grand Serail are open,” signaling a willingness for dialogue and engagement.

Salam also underscored his adherence to the Arab Peace Initiative, which calls for a two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the capital, and a guarantee of the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
