Lebanon's PM Says Israeli Wars May Cost Country Over $27 Billion

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said the cost of wars linked to Israel could exceed $27 billion for Lebanon, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

Salam said the scale of reconstruction needed following the conflicts is beyond the capacity of the Lebanese state to fund on its own, the agency reported.

He called for financial support from Arab nations and the wider international community to help cover reconstruction costs, according to the report.

Further details on the timeline of the damage assessment, the breakdown of the estimated costs, or specific requests made to international partners were not immediately available.
