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.

World's Oldest Man, Juan Vicente Perez, Dies Aged 114
The world's oldest man has died at the age of 114, just under two months before his 115th birthday.
Juan Vicente Perez, from Venezuela, was confirmed to be the world's oldest living man by Guinness World Records when he was aged 112 years and 253 days as of 4 February 2022.
He attributed his longevity to "working hard, resting on holidays, going to bed early, drinking a glass of aguardiente [a strong liquor] every day, loving God, and always carrying him in his heart".
Born on 27 May 1909, Mr Perez was married to Ediofina del Rosario Garcia for 60 years until she died in 1997.
Together they had 11 children - six sons and five daughters - and later had 42 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
He celebrated his 110th birthday in 2019, becoming the first male supercentenarian from Venezuela.
Mr Perez had lived through two World Wars and the COVID pandemic.
Freddy Bernal, the governor of Tachira, Venezuela, where Mr Perez lived, wrote on X: "Our dear Juan Vicente Perez Mora, today with deep sadness and pain we say goodbye to you, to that archetype of a man from Tachira, humble, hard-working, peaceful, enthusiastic about family and tradition."
He added: "My old Don Vicente, we will always remember him for his optimism in life, for faith, hope, and that deep love for our state of Tachira.
"He will always be a symbol of goodness, wisdom, and joy, which is why his legacy will live forever in our hearts and our lives. Rest in peace my dear old man, my Don Juan Vicente. We will never forget you."
President Nicholas Maduro tweeted: "Juan Vicente Perez Mora has transcended into eternity at 114 years old, from the town of El Cobre he gave Venezuela the Guinness Record for being the oldest man in the world.
"I send my hug and condolences to his family and to all the people of El Cobre, Tachira state. May God receive him in his holy glory!"
The world's next oldest living man is expected to be Gisaburo Sonobe of Japan, who is aged 112, pending confirmation from his family, Guinness World Records said.
