Lebanon Forms Its First Government in Over Two Years Amid Political Turmoil
After more than two years of political deadlock, Lebanon has successfully formed a new government, with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam leading the cabinet. This development comes after unusual US intervention, which played a significant role in breaking the stalemate. The new government pledges to tackle pressing issues, including a ceasefire with Israel and reconstruction efforts, while also committing to implement essential reforms. However, the formation has faced criticism for excluding certain political blocs from the government line-up. The Lebanese President has signed the decree to officially establish the government, marking a critical step towards political stability in the war-torn nation.
