Lebanon’s prime minister has rejected calls for the country to become a battleground for foreign disputes, emphasizing its neutrality in regional tensions during a speech to the United Nations.

The declaration comes as international observers closely watch Lebanon’s role in the broader Middle East geopolitical landscape.
