The rain has brought good to the ground, despite the recurrent suffering of people during the first "rainstorm" in Lebanon, where scenes of flooding shift between regions. However, the beginning of the rainy season typically ignites hope, which Lebanon desperately needs these days. With just seven days left in Michel Aoun's term, the hope for a miracle appears to be the only thing that could dispel the looming presidential vacancy, amid the absence of any indications for forming a new government.
As the fourth session dedicated to electing a president of the republic convenes today, nothing has changed since the first session; positions remain the same, and stalling persists within a certain group. Expectations are that today's session will fail, similar to its predecessors, especially in light of political sources pointing out to "Anbaa" electronic newspaper that Hezbollah has resumed its accusations against both the American and Saudi embassies, claiming that their direct intervention with certain political factions is what hinders the presidential election. This suggests that the presidential vacancy is very close unless a miracle occurs to turn the situation around. The sources also noted the emergence of the change deputies from their silence by proposing their candidate, former MP Salah Hnein, and the thirteen deputies voting for him, which affirms their contribution to the lack of a majority in parliament.
