Lebanon’s presidency announced on Saturday the formation of a new 24-member cabinet under Salam, following weeks of intensive negotiations with the country's major political parties.
The country had been in a political deadlock since October 2022, when the term of former President Michel Aoun ended without a successor in place. Amid the presidential vacancy, Najib Mikati's government continued in a caretaker capacity.
