Nawaf Salam Appointed Lebanon's New Prime Minister
- Lebanon's parliament elected Joseph Aoun as president on January 9 after a two-year political deadlock, following the withdrawal of his rival Suleiman Frangieh from the race.
- Nawaf Salam, head of the International Court of Justice, was appointed as Lebanon's new Prime Minister, surprising many as he is not affiliated with major political parties.
- The election of Aoun and Salam reflects the weakening power of Hezbollah, which lost its parliamentary majority in the 2022 elections and faced setbacks in recent conflicts.
- Aoun and Salam are tasked with addressing Lebanon's severe economic crisis and extending a ceasefire deal with Israel, amid challenges in forming a stable government.
