President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam have signed a decree opening an extraordinary session of parliament from March 2 to March 16, according to information reported by MTV Lebanon.

The decree paves the way for lawmakers to convene outside the regular legislative calendar during the two-week period.

Under Lebanon’s constitutional framework, an extraordinary session of parliament requires a formal decree signed by both the president and the prime minister. The move enables the legislature to meet and address matters specified for discussion during the designated timeframe.
