Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a comprehensive plan to end the war in Gaza, particularly noting its call for an immediate ceasefire, delivery of necessary humanitarian aid to the people, and prevention of Palestinian displacement.

Salam stated on the platform “X” that “the plan affirms the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state on their land, and we also welcome President Trump’s declaration rejecting the annexation of the West Bank to Israel.”

Earlier today, President Joseph Aoun praised Trump’s efforts to “end the suffering of civilians and innocents in the Gaza Strip, to stop the bloodshed, and to work jointly for a stable and prosperous Middle East based on principles of human justice and dignity.”

Aoun also expressed hope that the plan would receive swift approval from those concerned, highlighting the realistic approach it adopts in addressing contentious and problematic issues.
