NNA - Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote on his account on the "X" platform: "I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire declared by President Trump, which has been a key Lebanese demand that we have been striving for since the very first day of the war, and it was our primary objective during the Washington meeting on Tuesday. As I congratulate all Lebanese on this achievement, I pray for the souls of the martyrs who have fallen, and I express my solidarity with their families, with the wounded, and with the citizens who were forced to flee from their cities and villages. I sincerely hope they will be able to return to their homes as soon as possible.

I would also like to express gratitude for all the regional and international efforts that were made to reach this outcome, particularly by the United States of America, France, the European Union countries, and all our Arab brothers, foremost among them the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, as well as the State of Qatar and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan."
