Nawaf Salam, the Judge from the ICJ, Will Be the PM-Designate of Lebanon
Nawaf Salam, currently serving as the President of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), has reportedly secured enough support from Lebanese lawmakers to be designated as the next Prime Minister of Lebanon. This development comes amidst consultations led by President Joseph Aoun to appoint a new prime minister. Salam, known for his previous role as Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations, has garnered backing from various political factions, including those opposed to Hezbollah. His potential appointment signals a significant moment for Lebanon, intertwining international judicial prestige with national political leadership.
