AI Summary:
Lebanon’s parliament is set to make another effort to elect a president. The leading candidate is Lebanese army commander Joseph Aoun. He is widely seen as the preferred candidate of the United States and Saudi Arabia. A president is needed to appoint a permanent prime minister and cabinet. The caretaker government that has run Lebanon for the last two years has reduced powers because it was not appointed by a sitting president. Lebanon is six years into an economic and financial crisis that decimated the country’s currency.
