Lebanese political and administrative developments
Overview
The Lebanese government and legislature have engaged in several administrative and political processes. The Cabinet, chaired by President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, met to discuss key appointments, including the potential extension of the Lebanese University presidency and the appointment of a new Director General for the Ministry of Labor. The session also addressed the ongoing electricity crisis and telecommunications asset management, though discussions were complicated by the boycott of Energy and Water Minister Jo Sadi.
Concurrently, the Lebanese Parliament, led by Speaker Nabih Berri, conducted sessions to elect secretaries, commissioners, and members of various parliamentary committees. These elections were largely conducted by acclamation, reflecting a period of consensus in committee renewals. During these proceedings, deputies raised legislative concerns regarding rental laws, social issues, and the need for stricter attendance controls within parliamentary committees.
