Lebanon’s Nawaf Salam Calls for Addressing Gaps in Taif Agreement

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has called for addressing gaps in the Taif Agreement and developing its provisions, saying the accord has not been fully implemented.

Salam stressed the need to place weapons exclusively under state control and ensure that sovereign decisions remain the sole responsibility of the state.

He also urged the completion of long-pending reforms, describing them as essential to building a state governed by the rule of law and supported by functioning institutions.

His appeal linked fuller implementation of the agreement with efforts to correct its shortcomings, alongside reforms aimed at strengthening state authority.
