Nawaf Salam assumed the role of Lebanon’s prime minister in February 2025 after securing broad parliamentary backing to form a cabinet focused on reforms, reconstruction, and implementation of UN resolutions tied to border stability. As of mid-2026 he continues to lead official government meetings, issue statements on foreign policy and security matters, and coordinate with the presidency amid ongoing diplomatic and domestic priorities. No parliamentary no-confidence vote, cabinet collapse, or formal resignation has occurred, and recent references from Lebanese officials treat his leadership as active. Traders therefore assign high probability to continuity through the remainder of the year, consistent with the absence of procedural triggers or major realignments that would force an early exit before scheduled elections produce a successor government.
