Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is calling for a new security plan to control the border with Syria and combat smuggling. A delegation from the Lebanese government is set to visit Syria to discuss ways to control the border and prevent violations. The discussions will focus on enhancing security cooperation and reducing border tensions. Earlier this month, Lebanese and Syrian leaders agreed to organize border management between the two countries. The situation escalated into violent confrontations between armed Lebanese tribesmen and Syrian forces, which were eventually contained through an agreement between the defense ministers.
