Lebanon's Political Shift

Nawaf Salam has been appointed as Lebanon's new prime minister, marking a significant political shift in the country. This appointment comes after a parliamentary vote that aimed to exclude Hezbollah from power and reflects a response to Lebanon's economic collapse and banking crisis. The new prime minister is seen as a figure from outside the entrenched political system, providing hope for much-needed reforms. Aline Kamakian, a restaurant owner in Beirut, shared her experience of losing over two million dollars due to the economic crisis, highlighting the personal impact of the financial turmoil.
