Fox News: Lebanon's new president strikes a nationalistic tone amid regional shifts, further weakening of Hezbollah
Joseph Aoun has been elected as Lebanon's president after over two years of political deadlock, receiving 99 votes in Parliament. His election is seen as a setback for Hezbollah, which had previously opposed him. Despite this, Hezbollah remains a significant force, and Aoun faces considerable challenges ahead.
Aoun's presidency could shift Lebanon's relations with the U.S. and Israel, as he emphasizes state sovereignty and disarmament of militant groups. His military background may strengthen ties with the U.S., which has historically supported the Lebanese military. The future dynamics between Lebanon and its regional neighbors will depend on Aoun's ability to navigate these complex political waters.
