Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday stressed that "the central problem facing Lebanon is the Israeli-American aggression."

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Sunday continued his visit to south Lebanon and inspected the war-hit border town of Kfarkela.

"The town has witnessed a disaster and we will work on reorganizing it and rehabilitating infrastructure to secure residents' return, seeing as the process of repairing roads and installing a telecom network will begin in the coming weeks," Salam said in Kfarkela.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Saturday visited several southern cities and towns, stressing that "the right of the people of the South to safety, to their homes, to their land, and to a dignified life is an indivisible national right."

President Joseph Aoun met Friday with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa to discuss the recent developments and the results of Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal’s visit to Washington.

“They further discussed preparations for the conference to support the Lebanese Army and Internal Security Forces, scheduled for March 5 in Paris, in which the United States will participate. A preparatory meeting will precede the conference to coordinate positions, particularly as President Aoun's attendance alongside (French) President (Emmanuel) Macron lends it significant importance,” the Presidency said.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil discussed Hezbollah's disarmament in a televised interview, in which he said that for Hezbollah to hand over its arms Lebanon must work on a comprehensive strategy to protect the country.

Lebanon "must simultaneously secure an Israeli withdrawal and defense agreements with countries, such as the United States, in order to convince Hezbollah to hand over its weapons. A comprehensive policy to protect Lebanon must be established," he told talk show host Marcel Ghanem on Thursday evening.

MP Ali Fayyad of Hezbollah noted Friday that "the country is at a sensitive and critical crossroads requiring everyone to act with the utmost responsibility to save it and guide it to safety.”

“This will enable us all to confront these numerous pressures and challenges, which necessitates consultation, dialogue and understanding regarding the critical issues it faces," Fayyad said.

Druze leader Walid Jumblat stressed Friday in an X post that “preserving national unity and the unity of institutions is more important than the arbitrary U.S.-Israeli dictations.”

Jumblat’s stance comes in the wake of Lebanese Army chief General Rodolphe Haykal’s visit to the United States.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has emphasized that the upcoming parliamentary elections will be held on time in May.

“Between May and July the electoral law will not change and will stay the same as it is now,” Berri added, in an interview with the Asas Media news portal.

An Israeli drone dropped Friday a stun grenade on the outskirts of Yaroun after overnight artillery shelling on the southern border town.
