Nawaf Salam assumed Lebanon’s premiership in February 2025 with strong parliamentary backing and has since led efforts to implement the Taif Accord, enforce state authority over weapons via the Homeland Shield plan, ban IRGC activities, and advance post-ceasefire reconstruction alongside Israeli withdrawal from southern zones. President Joseph Aoun and international partners have coordinated with Salam on diplomatic initiatives, army deployments, and economic reforms, including recent budget measures and visits to affected areas through mid-2026. No parliamentary moves to replace him or formal challenges to his mandate have surfaced in official proceedings or reporting this year, supporting trader consensus that he is likely to complete the calendar year in office.
