In a significant development, Nawaf Salam, the president of the International Court of Justice, has been nominated as Lebanon's new prime minister. With a two-thirds majority, 128 members of parliament have chosen the 71-year-old judge for the post, reserved for a Sunni Muslim under the country's sectarian power sharing system. This move is expected to bring stability to the region, and Salam's experience in international law and diplomacy is likely to play a key role in shaping Lebanon's future. Key issues such as economic reform and political stability will be high on his agenda. Lebanon's new government is set to tackle these challenges head-on, with Salam at the helm.
