Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Lebanon's Parliament is scheduled to vote on Thursday for a new president, potentially ending a prolonged political deadlock.
  • The country has been without a president since Michel Aoun left office in October 2022, after failing to form a government.
  • Years of political gridlock have led to economic collapse and social upheaval, exacerbated by a recent war with Hezbollah.
  • There is significant international pressure from the U.S. and other donors for Lebanon to elect a president to unlock financial support.
  • Current frontrunner, Joseph Aoun, may not secure enough votes, continuing the cycle of failed presidential elections.
