Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun announced the formation of a new cabinet led by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, marking the first full-fledged government since 2022. This comes after more than two years of political stalemate and economic turmoil. The new administration aims to draft a policy statement and secure a vote of confidence from Parliament. Salam plans to implement judicial reforms and adhere to UN resolutions regarding Hezbollah's role, signaling a significant shift away from Hezbollah's influence as the country seeks international aid post-war and faces a continuing economic crisis.
The new cabinet is charged with drafting a policy statement... and will then need a vote of confidence from Lebanon's parliament to be fully empowered.
Salam... promised to reform Lebanon's judiciary, implement economic reforms and bring about stability.
Lebanon's new government marks a shift away from leaders that are close to Hezbollah, as Beirut hopes to access reconstruction funds and investments after last year's devastating war with Israel.
