Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed Kataeb Party leader, MP Samy Gemayel, accompanied by MPs Salim Sayegh, Nadim Gemayel, and Elias Hankach, at the Grand Serail.
Speaking after the meeting, Sami Gemayel said the visit was to congratulate Salam, commend his resolve and courage, and wish him success amid Lebanon’s many challenges. He expressed confidence that, with the prime minister, president, and cabinet working together, Lebanon has a “historic opportunity” to recover and offer hope for a better future.
Gemayel paid tribute to the Lebanese Army soldiers killed the previous day, calling them “martyrs of sovereignty and legitimacy,” and vowed continued Kataeb support for the army.
Addressing recent Iranian statements on Lebanese affairs, Gemayel said the Kataeb rejects all such remarks from Iranian officials, calling them an infringement on Lebanon’s sovereignty. He accused Iran of fueling instability through its support for Hezbollah, urging Tehran to treat Lebanon with greater respect.
Prime Minister Salam also met MP Hadi Aboul Hosn, with whom he discussed national and development issues, MP Abdel Aziz Al-Samad on general conditions, and Maronite Foundation for Diaspora head Rose Choueiri on pending nationality restoration decrees requiring government action.
