Lebanon must elect president during 60-day truce with Israel: Sources

Lebanon “must” elect a president during the 60-day truce with Israel that could lead to a permanent ceasefire with Hezbollah, sources stated. The parliament announced a new voting session next week after several failed attempts over the past two years. The announcement followed the landmark ceasefire deal reached with the Iran-backed Hezbollah, ending a devastating Israeli war that killed about 4,000 Lebanese, destroyed large parts of the country and inflicted unprecedented damage on the militant group.
