Beirut, February 8, 2025 – In a major political breakthrough, Lebanon has formed its first government in over two years. President Joseph Aoun officially accepted the resignation of the former caretaker government and signed a decree appointing Nawaf Salam as the country’s new Prime Minister.
The announcement comes after prolonged political deadlock, exacerbated by economic turmoil and ongoing security challenges. The newly formed government is expected to focus on stabilizing Lebanon’s economy, restoring essential services, and addressing the humanitarian crisis caused by years of conflict.
In his first statement as Prime Minister, Salam vowed to prioritize reforms and international cooperation. “Lebanon needs urgent action to rebuild its institutions, restore public trust, and secure the support of the global community,” he said.
Political analysts view the new administration as a critical step toward restoring governance in Lebanon, though significant challenges remain. The international community, including the United Nations and key regional allies, has welcomed the formation of the new government, urging swift action to bring stability to the nation.
