Nawaf Salam

Nawaf Salam is the Prime Minister of Lebanon who has been involved in recent ceasefire negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, as well as with the United States. As part of these talks, a temporary ceasefire was agreed upon by both parties, taking effect on April 22, 2026. The ceasefire was seen as a gesture of goodwill by Israel, intended to enable 'good-faith negotiations towards a permanent security and peace agreement' between the two sides. Salam's involvement in these negotiations has been significant, as he welcomed the truce announcement made by US President Donald Trump. However, not all Lebanese citizens are supportive of the talks, with some protesters calling for an end to any negotiations with Israel. The situation remains tense, with ongoing tensions between Lebanon and Israel, and the role of Iran in the conflict adding complexity to the situation.
