“Lebanese PM says Bint Jbeil ‘has become a version of Gaza’ Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the southern town of Bint Jbeil “has become a version of Gaza” amid continued Israeli attacks and the siege imposed by Israeli forces, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. Salam said Lebanon “did not choose war” but was “dragged into the confrontation between Iran and America”, adding that 68 Lebanese villages are now under Israeli control because of the conflict. Salam also said the Lebanese majority supports negotiations aimed at ending the war and that Beirut had demanded a “clear agenda” for Israeli withdrawal during talks. Referring to his recent visit to Damascus, the prime minister said the aim was to strengthen cooperation between Lebanon and Syria, adding that “significant progress” had been made with Syrian officials and that the results would soon become apparent.
