Reporter: If the United States were to pressure the Lebanese government to accept Syrian involvement in disarming Hezbollah, would you agree to that?

Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam: No, no, neither he nor I will answer this question.

I believe President Ahmed al-Sharaa has already answered this question, and more.

On behalf of Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, there is nothing to add to what President Ahmed al-Sharaa said, and I have nothing to add either.
