Nawaf Salam Resigns from ICJ to Become Lebanon’s New Prime Minister

BEIRUT (Reuters) – Nawaf Salam, who has been designated as the new Prime Minister of Lebanon, has resigned as a member of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the ICJ announced on Tuesday. Salam’s term as head of the ICJ had been due to end in early February 2027.

Earlier this week, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun summoned Salam to designate him prime minister after most lawmakers had nominated him, dealing a significant blow to Hezbollah, which accused opponents of seeking to exclude it. Salam’s appointment marks a notable political shift in Lebanon, as he steps into the role of prime minister amid ongoing economic and political challenges.

Salam’s resignation from the ICJ and his new role as Lebanon’s prime minister highlight the complex and dynamic nature of Lebanese politics, with various factions vying for influence and control. The international community will be closely watching how Salam navigates these challenges and works towards stabilizing the country.
