Power in southern Lebanon shifts to the army as Hezbollah withdraws after Israel’s war. The conflict weakened Hezbollah militarily and reshaped Lebanon, reducing Iran’s influence. Political consensus is crucial as MPs prepare to elect a president, with international backing for army commander Joseph Aoun. Hezbollah hasn’t endorsed a candidate but says it won’t block Aoun. Reconstruction is stalled without international aid, and Lebanon faces pressure to resolve its leadership crisis after 12 failed attempts since 2022. The speaker opposes constitutional amendments, adding challenges to electing a president.
