A First-Year Assessment of Lebanon’s Governing Coalition
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.

Kanye West Returns to Twitter with 'Shalom' Post - Six Weeks after Antisemitic Ban
Kanye West has returned to Twitter with the Hebrew word "shalom" after his account was previously blocked for antisemitic posts.
He posted the word - often translated as "peace" but also used as a greeting or farewell - with a smiling emoji on Sunday evening.
A few hours before, he tweeted: "Testing Testing Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked" - with new Twitter owner Elon Musk replying: "Don't kill what ye hate. Save what ye love".
West's Twitter and Instagram accounts were restricted in October after he posted he was going "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE".
He was apparently reinstated on Twitter a few weeks later - just before the Twitter sale was finalised, Musk said at the time.
Shalom : )
