🔴 The Lebanese parliament failed to elect a new Lebanese president for the 12th time.
Top IMF official Jihad Azour received 59 votes, while Suleiman Frangieh received 51. In the first round, 86 votes were needed to win. Hezbullah and Amal blocked the second round (no quorum), where 65 votes were enough.
The FPM (Aoun's party) continued presenting itself in a fragile state after 6 of its parliamentarians voted for Ziad Baroud, breaking the leadership's consensus for Azour. Their allies from the Armenian party voted for Suleiman Frangieh.
The previous session was held on January 19. See results.

⋯ During the trial, Muhammad Hammoud denied a Hezbollah support cell existed in Charlotte and said he was not a member of the group.
But he did sympathise with its resistance to the Israelis, he said.

⋯ He was arrested alongside his brother & 18 other Lebanese Shia.
The arrest was triggered by a US mandate on crack-down on the sale of smuggled cigarette on the market, which led to Hammoud's and the other's arrest.
FBI op was codenamed "Operation Smokescreen".

⋯ The documents also revealed that some of the Lebanese were part of the Lebanese resistance against the Israeli invasion, before traveling to the US.
Photos of Mohammad Darwich, one of the arrested Lebanese.
It's unclear if he is still in prison.
