Lebanon set for yet another attempt at electing president

Lebanese lawmakers are set to meet to elect a new president, but analysts say that the outcome is uncertain. The country has been without a president for over two years due to divisions between Hezbollah and its opponents. While Hezbollah has been weakened by war and the loss of a key ally in Syria, there is no indication that the upcoming vote will be successful. Army chief Joseph Aoun is a leading candidate, but there is still reluctance among certain political parties to elect him. The ruling class is usually able to agree on a name, but consensus has been elusive since the last president's term ended in 2022.
