Rise of Hezbollah Again? Joseph Aoun Elected Lebanon’s President| What Does it Mean for Israel?

Lebanon’s political stalemate has ended with the election of Army Chief Joseph Aoun as president, after 13 failed attempts and over a year without a leader. Aoun’s election comes during a delicate ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following devastating clashes that left Lebanon reeling. Backed by international powers like the US and Saudi Arabia, Aoun’s presidency is seen as a potential turning point for the country’s fractured politics and strained international relations.Hezbollah’s role in the election has raised questions about its future influence, especially as the group has been weakened by the recent conflict with Israel. Aoun, viewed as a reformist leader, faces monumental challenges, including rebuilding Lebanon’s shattered economy, navigating the fragile peace with Israel, and maintaining national unity amid deep political divisions. #JosephAoun #LebanonPolitics #Hezbollah #IsraelConflict #MiddleEastTensions #LebanonPresident #JosephAounElected #HezbollahRise #IsraelLebanon #CeasefireTalks #MiddleEastNews #JosephAounLeadership #LebanonFuture #RegionalStability #LebanonReforms Also Read West Bengal's Anti-Rape Bill Aparajita Sent to President for Consideration :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/west-bengal-governor-refers-anti-rape-bill-to-president-011-3927913.html?ref=DMDesc Meet To Lam: From Police Chief To President Of Vietnam :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/meet-to-lam-from-police-chief-to-president-of-vietnam-3831659.html?ref=DMDesc Putin's Landslide Victory: Securing Fifth Term And Surpassing Stalin As Longest-Serving Leader :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-putin-secures-fifth-term-with-landslide-victory-in-russian-presidential-election-3777051.html?ref=DMDesc

Massive Russian Blow to Ukraine: Zelensky Embarrassed As Elite Soldiers Trained In France Disappear

The Ukrainian military faces a significant challenge as dozens of soldiers from the elite 'Anne of Kiev' Brigade, trained in France, have reportedly deserted. The flagship unit, inspected by French President Emmanuel Macron, was meant to symbolize Ukraine’s military strength amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Reports indicate that many of the soldiers lacked combat experience, and internal issues within the brigade have led to the dismissal of senior commanders. Ukrainian military officials have acknowledged personnel problems but downplayed the scale of the desertions. #ZelenskyArmyCrisis #UkraineMilitary #AnneOfKievBrigade #SoldiersDesertion #UkraineFranceRelations #MilitaryMorale #CommanderDismissals #UkraineRussiaWar #EliteBrigadeMissing #DefenseCrisis #ZelenskyLeadership #AWOLSoldiers #UkraineConflict #MilitaryChallenges #FranceUkraineTraining Also Read NIA scanner on foreign terrorists involved in Poonch attack: Sources :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/nia-scanner-on-foreign-terrorists-involved-in-poonch-attack-sources-3550943.html?ref=DMDesc Move to introduce ballistic helmets for Sikh soldiers opposed :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/move-to-introduce-ballistic-helmets-for-sikh-soldiers-opposed-gen-3519492.html?ref=DMDesc US to train Ukrainian troops on Patriots :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/us-to-train-ukrainian-troops-on-patriots-3510866.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~GR.125~
