Nawaf Salam has served as Lebanon's prime minister since forming his 24-member cabinet in February 2025, following designation by President Joseph Aoun and a parliamentary confidence vote. His government has focused on ceasefire implementation with Israel, reconstruction in the south, judicial and economic reforms, and state authority restoration amid ongoing U.S.-brokered talks. As of mid-2026, Salam remains the incumbent, publicly addressing recent Israeli strikes and negotiations without reported challenges to his mandate. Lebanon's next parliamentary elections, scheduled for 2026, could influence cabinet continuity, yet the absence of no-confidence motions, major coalition fractures, or resignation signals supports trader consensus that he will likely complete the year in office.
