A Lebanese government source on Friday told CNN that Salam was expected to travel to Washington in the coming days, after Israel signaled openness to direct negotiations with Lebanon.
The delay comes as a fragile two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran holds for now, but remains under strain, as Israel continues to hit Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
