Lebanon After the Assads
The United States has important equities in Lebanon, including a desire for a generally friendly government’s economic and political stability; security cooperation; long-standing relations with the large Christian community in Lebanon and Lebanese diaspora in the United States; and ultimately peace between Israel and Lebanon within a broader regional settlement. Achieving these objectives will require navigating a tumultuous period in the country’s history following a war between Hezbollah and Israel that has devastated a large part of the country, exacerbating Lebanon’s already challenging economic conditions. But perhaps the most important dynamic will be how a likely Sunni-dominated state of uncertain composition in Syria will differ in its intentions toward Lebanon from the previous Alawite-led minoritarian Assad regime.

Abu al-Hassan: It Is Better to Extend Army Commander's Term
MP Hadi Abu al-Hassan affirmed that nothing seems conclusive at this moment regarding the fate of the position of the army commander, indicating that "logic must prevail in this matter, and logic dictates extending the term of the current army commander."
"It is better today to extend the term of the army commander and appoint the military council because there is a vacancy in the chief of staff position, and extension is not possible,” Abu al-Hassan said in an interview with LBCI.
“Our stance has been clear from the beginning, which is to avoid a vacuum and a void. For this reason, we have been calling for the election of a president and the formation of a government, whether through the democratic process or consensus and agreement on a unifying figure,” he added.
“We have also been trying to avoid a vacuum in the security institutions,” he continued.
In addition, Abu al-Hassan emphasized that "we have only one option, which is to extend the term of the army commander, and the appointment should come after the election of the president and the formation of the government."
