US officials believe they can exploit the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s disarray to push for the election of a president in Lebanon, according to Axios.

The report echoes the belief among some Lebanese opposition leaders who spoke to Middle East Eye that there is an opportunity to push for the election of a president after the post has been vacant since October 2022.

Under Lebanon’s de facto confessional system, the president of Lebanon must be a Christian.
