For the first time since 1958, there is reason for hope in Lebanon. That hope lies today in the rise of two Lebanese public figures who served their country ably over many years: Gen. Joseph Aoun, a former Lebanese army commander who will now serve as president, and Nawaf Salam, Lebanon’s former United Nations ambassador who will assume the role of prime minister.
This reformist and philosophically aligned duo, rare in Lebanon’s modern history, could usher a new political era in the country—one that could start to rehabilitate a paralyzed system, a broken economy, and a deeply wounded nation that has incredible potential.
