Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Monday that protecting Lebanon and staying out of any new war are the government's foremost priorities in the current phase. He spoke during a ministerial meeting, according to Naharnet.

Separately, U.S. and Israeli officials made statements about Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump told CNN that renewed fighting with Iran is "highly unlikely", Naharnet reported. He spoke ahead of a Monday meeting with Qatar's prime minister, who is described as a mediator.

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that Israel has not finished with Iran, according to Naharnet.

According to commentary reported by Naharnet, it is uncertain whether Hezbollah would take part if a war with Iran broke out.

The accounts of Salam, Trump and Katz were all reported by Naharnet. Trump's remarks were originally made to CNN. Each account comes from a single outlet and has not been independently verified.
