In 2015, Salam had said that Israel should end its aggression.
In the same year, Nawaf wished an unhappy birthday against the Jewish state on Independence Day and highlighted their 48 years of occupation. Achieving international justice and upholding international law is my great responsibility, said Nawaf Salam.
