Salam Calls for Rejecting Hate Speech to Prevent Slide into Strife

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote on X: “No matter how deep the political disagreement may be, and while I remain committed to freedom of opinion, I have always warned against slipping into any form of expression that involves personal insults, defamation, bullying, or accusations of treason, all of which are condemnable and contribute to inflaming tensions and stirring sectarian sentiments. I call on my fellow citizens to exercise the highest levels of awareness and reject hate speech to prevent dragging the country into an atmosphere of strife with dangerous consequences.”
