In January 2025, President Joseph Aoun took the oath of office and in his inaugural address declared the start of a “new era.” The government then began to reconstitute itself as a functioning center of authority after prolonged executive paralysis. This transition unfolded in a moment of political fluidity shaped by two facts: the severe debilitation of Hezbollah following the 2023-2024 war with Israel, and the general consensus that Lebanon must end its endemic patronage, corruption, and institutional dysfunction. The extensive damage and disruption caused by Israel’s military campaign has turned reconstruction into the defining test of whether the state can restore national trust by reasserting its authority and delivering recovery.

He indicated that if this path is rejected, countries such as the United States or Saudi Arabia will interact with Lebanon in the way they deem appropriate.
"If Lebanon follows the right path, there will be greater and more interest than in past years; thus, this is the opportunity in itself," Hankach said.
"The Kataeb's position is straightforward: we are committed to supporting a candidate who can effectively lead during this pivotal time. Among the strongest contenders for this role is Army Commander General Joseph Aoun," he added.
He also noted that there are other figures, such as former Minister Jihad Azour, among others, depending on intersections with other political factions.
In an interview with Voice of Lebanon, Hankach reaffirmed that there are available options, but the strongest candidate today, considering both internal and external intersections, is General Joseph Aoun.
He pointed out that, by nature, the army commander meets the necessary specifications and enjoys the confidence of the international community, affirming that efforts are underway to secure as much consensus as possible for him.
