Lebanon's new Prime Minister Nawaf Salam pledges to extend state authority over all Lebanese soil after a November ceasefire ended a war between Hezbollah and Israel that weakened the Shiite militant group. Salam, in his first speech, says he would "extend the authority of the Lebanese state across all its territory" and "work seriously to completely implement UN resolution 1701" calling for Hezbollah to withdraw from south Lebanon.
