Lebanon negotiating with Israel to obtain 'serenity, prosperity': Ghassan Salamé
François Picard welcomes Ghassan Salamé, Lebanon's culture minister. Salamé portrays Lebanon as a country that has preserved political pluralism and freedom of expression, and persevered despite decades of conflict. Within this context, he frames negotiation with Israel not as a matter of choice, but of necessity: the only viable path toward stability, dignity and the basic conditions for the Lebanese people to live and thrive.
