Joseph Aoun's election marks a new chapter for Lebanon: Analysis
Update: 2025-01-10
Description
David Wood, a senior Lebanon analyst with the International Crisis Group, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Broummana, Lebanon. He explains that Joseph Aoun’s election as president, with a strong mandate of 99 out of 128 parliamentary votes, is a significant development for Lebanon after more than two years of a presidential vacuum. Wood highlights the encouraging tone of Aoun’s acceptance speech, which resonated with reform-minded Lebanese and hinted at the possibility of a fresh chapter in the country’s history. However, he cautions that while this is good news, expectations should remain measured as no single leader can deliver miracles.
