'Tammam Greetings', Arabic pronunciation: [tamːaːm sˤaʔɪb salaːm]; born 13 May 1945) is a Lebanese politician who was the Prime Minister of Lebanon from February 2014 until December 2016.

[7] He is the eldest son of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Saeb Salam, who held the office several times since independence.

[15] Tammam Salam is a graduate of Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais and Haigazian University in Beirut.

[19] However, the movement was dissolved by Tammam Salam at the initial phase of the Lebanese civil war in order to avoid being part of the militant activities.

[24] In the general elections of 1992, Salam was a candidate, but later he withdrew his candidacy as a protest over the Syrian dominance in Lebanon.

[14][25] His boycott aimed at supporting the Lebanese Christians in an attempt to preserve the sectarian balance in the country.

[36][37] In addition, he was part of the Lebanon First bloc in the parliament,[38][39] but not a member of any political party, making him a centrist figure.

[43] Salam was tasked with forming a government on 6 April 2013 after garnering 124 votes out of 128 parliament members.

[3] In 2014, Salam's cabinet took over the presidency, as per the constitution, since Parliament failed to elected a new one to succeed Michel Suleiman.
