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.

Israel has killed Hussein Ali Nasr, the Deputy Chief of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, in a precision drone strike in southern Lebanon. The attack targeted a vehicle in Kaouthariyet El-Saiyad and comes amid mounting tensions and over 2,700 reported Israeli ceasefire violations since November 27. Israel claims Nasr was a key figure in smuggling weapons from Iran via Syria and Iraq. The strike was followed by additional attacks on Houla, Iqlim al-Tuffah, and Arnoun, devastating civilian areas and raising fears of full-scale conflict.

Just days before crucial nuclear talks, Iran has escalated tensions by transferring long-range missiles to Shia militias in Iraq. This bold move challenges U.S. and Israeli interests and reshapes the regional power game. The Times reports that the missiles crossed the Iran-Iraq border last week. While Tehran faces growing U.S. pressure and weakened allies like Hamas and Hezbollah, it now leans on Iraqi proxies. Trump has responded with renewed threats, saying military action is on the table. Iraq remains stuck in the middle of this high-stakes geopolitical showdown.

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions.
