Lebanon’s First Government In 2 Years
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
BEIRUT (Worthy News) – Lebanon faced a new political era Sunday after the new prime minister formed the country’s first full-fledged government since 2022.
President Joseph Aoun said he had accepted the resignation of the former caretaker cabinet and signed a decree with new Prime Minister Nawaf Salam creating the new government.
Without naming Israel, Salam vowed to “restore confidence between citizens and the state, between Lebanon and its Arab surroundings, and between Lebanon and the international community.”
He stressed that reforms are needed to bring Israel out of an extended economic crisis.
President Joseph Aoun announced in a statement that he had accepted the resignation of the former caretaker government and signed a decree with new Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, creating the new government.
Salam vowed to “restore confidence between citizens and the state, between Lebanon and its Arab surroundings, and between Lebanon and the international community” to implement reforms needed to bring the country out of an extended economic crisis.
REFORM PATH
“Reform is the only path to true salvation,” he said in a speech on Saturday.
He did not mention Israel specifically, but his remarks seemed to aim at a broader peace settlement in the Middle East.
His cabinet of 24 ministers is now charged with drafting a policy statement – a broad outline of the upcoming government’s approach and priorities.
It will then need a vote of confidence from Lebanon’s parliament to be fully empowered.
The nation is still dealing with the aftermath of clashes between South Lebanon-based Hezbollah and Israel’s army.
