Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, in office since February 2025, maintains active leadership through ongoing diplomatic efforts on Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, reconstruction tenders in Nabatieh, and security enforcement, including recent vows to investigate explosives seizures and uphold state monopoly on arms. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has moved to ease tensions with allies amid Shiite community frustrations, supporting Salam’s outreach and meetings focused on the economy, electricity, and the June framework agreement’s implementation. These steps, alongside rejection of cabinet reshuffles and emphasis on institutional recovery, reflect sustained parliamentary and institutional backing that underpins trader expectations he will complete 2026 in the role.
