Ghassan Salamé urges Israel and international community to let Lebanon 'do Its job more efficiently'

Amid Israel's further military escalation, and Hezbollah's "illegal armed activities", Lebanon is confronted with an acute humanitarian and political crisis. To better understand the impact the conflict is having all across Lebanese society, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Ghassan Salamé, Lebanon's Minister of Culture. According to Mr. Salamé, Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability will not be restored through external intervention but through strengthening the capacity of the Lebanese state itself.
