Nawaf Salam has served as Lebanon’s prime minister since February 2025 under President Joseph Aoun, with his government securing renewed parliamentary confidence in September 2026 by a 68-vote margin. Recent weeks show continued institutional engagement, including visits to southern Lebanon to affirm state authority, statements advancing a June framework agreement with Israel on withdrawal and parallel disarmament processes, and pledges for thorough probes into security incidents such as an October explosives seizure. Speaker Nabih Berri has moved to ease tensions with allied factions, while broader political support from multiple blocs has limited challenges to the cabinet’s stability. These developments underpin trader consensus that Salam is unlikely to depart the premiership before year-end.
