In an exclusive interview, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned Tuesday’s Israeli strikes on Qatar, saying “the true scandal is that the world is powerless”. He also confirmed that the Lebanese army has three months to form a new government or face the risk of collapse.
Salam’s comments come amid growing tensions in the region, with Israel’s attack on Qatar seen as a significant escalation. The Lebanese PM argued that the international community’s failure to act decisively against such aggression is “the true scandal”.
The interview also touched on the precarious political and economic situation in Lebanon, with Salam warning that the country faces the risk of disintegration if a new government is not formed soon. The Lebanese crisis and the regional instability highlighted by the Israel-Qatar incident underscore the complex geopolitical challenges facing the Middle East.
