PM Salam stresses state sovereignty, financial reform at reconstruction conference
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam addressed the Rebuilding Lebanon Conference with a firm call for full state sovereignty and international cooperation to help the country overcome its mounting crises. Speaking at the event, Salam emphasized that the state must exert full control over all armed forces in the country and uphold international resolutions, including United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, as a foundation for peace and stability. He pointed to Lebanon's deep-rooted financial collapse as a direct result of poor governance and the culture of impunity, noting that the country now faces serious structural and security challenges. 'In the south, we have dismantled more than 500 weapons depots, and we have reinforced security at Beirut's international airport,' he said. 'We are actively engaging diplomatic channels to pressure Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from the five disputed border points.' The prime minister also reaffirmed the government's commitment to working with the international community to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees. He noted that Lebanon is in the process of drafting fair legislation aimed at restoring confidence in the financial system and securing justice for depositors. 'Our objective is a fair financial law that guarantees the rights of depositors and helps rebuild trust in the banking sector,' he said. Salam also stressed the importance of achieving social justice. He announced that the government had secured funding for the 'AMAN' social protection program and a reconstruction loan from the World Bank. However, he acknowledged that significant work still lies ahead. "In the face of these challenges, we will be organizing two major international conferences in the coming months—one focused on reconstruction and another on investment," he added.

With no progress on reconstruction, Lebanon bets on donors to unlock funding
Report by Bassam Abou Zeid, English adaptation by Karine Keuchkerian Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, no meaningful progress has been made on reconstruction. Lebanon had been awaiting the World Bank's approval of a $250 million loan on June 12, but reports now suggest the discussion of the loan may be postponed indefinitely. If the delay carries a message, it is a familiar one: no funds will be released without Lebanon fulfilling its promises. Still, the government remains determined to secure the funding needed for reconstruction, which is expected to come from donor countries and international agencies. The prime minister's office has scheduled a donor conference for Tuesday at the Grand Serail to announce that the first step in the process will be the $250 million loan. The loan is earmarked for debris removal and road and infrastructure repairs, mostly in densely populated areas—not in the heavily damaged front-line villages of southern Lebanon. According to government sources, Lebanon plans to ask donors to help increase the loan amount—first to $450 million, and eventually to $1 billion. The government also intends to present an outline of the overall reconstruction plan. The prime minister's office is banking on some positive developments, including key appointments at the Council for Development and Reconstruction, which will oversee the execution of the projects. Government sources have described the conference as exploratory, aiming to gauge the intentions of donor countries, particularly Gulf states and Arab funds. However, the most that can be expected, according to the sources, are promises of funding contingent on the continued implementation of reforms and concrete steps to ensure stability in Lebanon—especially the disarmament of Hezbollah.

Lebanese Energy Minister refutes predecessor's claims over Iraqi oil deal
Lebanese Energy Minister Joe Saddi issued a strongly worded statement on Friday, rejecting what he described as "a series of inaccuracies" made by former Minister Walid Fayad regarding the Iraqi oil agreement. He accused Fayad of misleading the public over financial and procedural matters. The statement, released by Saddi's media office, emphasized that successive energy ministers have been importing fuel from Iraq since 2021, with only the first contract officially ratified by Parliament. The second and third contracts, though approved by the Cabinet, remain unendorsed by lawmakers. Saddi also clarified that the fourth contract, at the center of the latest dispute, had its tendering process initiated by Fayad before the deal was signed. According to the statement, Fayad awarded the initial bid to a company he referenced in recent remarks. While Saddi confirmed that he had finalized the contract, he stated that this was done strictly in accordance with the principle of maintaining continuity of public services without launching a new tender or incurring further obligations outside of the existing framework. He insisted that no new financial burden was imposed on Lebanese taxpayers before receiving parliamentary approval, countering Fayad's assertions. The statement added that both Finance Minister Yassine Jaber and Minister Saddi informed Parliament about the status of the contract during the latest joint committee session. On the financial front, Saddi challenged Fayad's claim that the agreement amounted to just $600 million, stating the actual value was approximately $1.28 billion, with $753 million already due and the remaining balance to mature through the next year. "In the end, every official owes it to the Lebanese people to speak with honesty and transparency," the statement concluded.
