Lebanon's Prime Minister-designate Nawaf Salam extends his hand to Hezbollah and aims to rebuild the country. Salam won the backing of a majority of lawmakers and has the support of Christians, Druze, and Sunni Muslim MPs. However, Hezbollah and the Shi'ite Amal Movement have indicated that they do not intend to join Salam's government, raising the prospect of a sectarian rift. Salam is committed to justice for the victims of the Beirut port explosion and for depositors whose savings have been frozen in the Lebanese financial system since its collapse in 2019.
