Let's be clear on one thing lol, to those who claim Aoun had enough to win without the Shia.

1- He didn't secure enough votes in the first round, where he needed 86.

2- It was impossible to secure 86

3- He needed the second round and all the Shia MPs, including the head of the parliament left to do "consultations" with him

4- Aoun was dressed and ready to move his bags to the Presidential Palace. Had he not agree on giving guarantees and safety to Hezbullah and Amal, they wouldn't have came back to the parliament.

There wouldn't have been a second vote. That's how you lift the parliament session, and that's legal and constitutional.

So if there is no enough MPs to X threshold or absence of Parliament speaker. It's not cope, they had the power snd ability to sabotage the vote.

It was settled by joining the general consensus and getting guarantees, that Aoun will either have to live up to when he forms the government to betray and succumb to external pressure.

Get what I mean? And again, let them celebrate, they already announced Hezullah's funeral weeks ago... whoever wants to be joyful lol

What's important is what happens, and how Aoun doesn't fight with the state against Hezbullah and cooperates for the wellbeing of Lebanon and its sovereignty

🇱🇧 Rough summary of Aoun's speech after the vote: (important points)

- Being president is a big honor for me
- My presidency comes during a shift in the Middle east when alliances collapsed and Regimes fell and borders changed but Lebanon stayed
- Lebanon stayed despite the wars and aggression and explosions and the failure to handle the crisises
- All sects are Lebanese and part of Lebanon
- No matter how we fight, we are always together
- We are in a political crisis that requires us to work to protect our borders and economy, etc etc
- Today starts a new phase in Lebanon where I vow to serve Lebanon to uphold the national consensus.
- No mafia, no money laundry, no illegal security zones, or drug trafficking, or interference in judiciary or protection of the corrupt
- I will work with the new gov to secure the independence of the judiciary
- I promise to begin forming a government soon and start negotiating with the parliament
- I will play my role as the commander of the armed forces to stress that the state exclusively has the right to bare arms (here only Hezb and Amal MPs didn't applaud, other did for a long time)
- We will invest in the army to ensure the border is preserved in south Lebanon and finalized in the east with Syria
- We will get an army that will fight smuggling and terrorists
-  We will get an army that will counter the Israeli violations
- Will ensure that the security forces are active
- We will discuss the national defense strategy to protect against the enemies including Israel and I stress (twice) that the government is solely responsible for countering Israel
- I promise to rebuild what the Israeli army has destroyed in Dahyeh, Beqaa, and south Lebanon
- I salute the martyrs (Hezbullah) whose soles are our spirit of steadfast and that the prisoners now on Israel are our responsibility and we owe them freedom
- I will refuse giving Palestinians Lebanese citizenship, to preserve their right to go home based on the two-state solution that Lebanon accepted in 2001 based on the Arab Peace attempt
- I promise to make good relationship with the Arab states and gulf.
- We will refuse any attempts to sabotage and interfere with the Arab states, and we will stay neutral about any Arab conflict.
- We will not tolerate exporting anything to these Arabs but our produce
- We will talk with Syria to resolve the pending conflicts to preserve sovereignty and stop snuggling and look for those missing during the civil war (1975-1990)
- We will have mutual cooperation with the world

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Back to south Lebanon, for the second day in a row the Israeli moved large forces from Maroun al-Ras towards the outskirts of Bint Jbeil to raid homes and search.

Tanks and soldiers are seen in a dozen photo here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/alichoeib1970/12985

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Additionally today, the Israeli army attacked a vehicle in south Lebanon claiming it was carrying weapons being moved out a location previously associated with Hezbullah (but they somehow remarkably forgot to attack during the war)

No secondary explosions or fire reported.

This is the second such attack recently, and in both statements they announced targeting the vehicle but not the people around and in it.

Again lol, I'm not saying Aoun was Hezbullah and Amal's victory lol. He isn't.

Lebanese army officers are usually arrogant ennoscriptd officers, he isn't anyone's pawn.

He's the best option under the worst conditions, and electing him was with some conditions and benefits.

He isn't Gaegae who was going to fight and drown Lebanon in chaos, he isn't the Jihad Azour, he isn't etc etc. He's a man that Hezbullah always had back channels with. He is someone they can sit with unlike others.

And no, Lebanon wasn't going to risk electing a president without the Shia, because Lebanon is based on this type of consensus of not sidelining a sect.

Lebanon has no majority that can win anything, and everyone has the ability to sabotage. Its just how it is.

Aoun can say whatever he wants, can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't put the state against Hezbullah, turn a blind eye, and help safeguard Lebanon',s sovereignty from the perspective of the state by defending Lebanon's rights its all good.

We have 6 years to see, and our first indictor is the next government. What portfolios will he give to? And what will be the government message which always had the phrase "Lebanese have the right to resist"

The liars and hypocrites are the ones who never wanted Aoun and only accepted under foreign pressure.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Similar to some Lebanese, they think Aoun's win will be the last nail in Hezbullah's coffin

After Israeli media, now the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs said:

"I congratulate Lebanon on electing a new president after a prolonged political crisis. I hope that the election will contribute to strengthening stability, a better future for Lebanon and its residents, and good neighborliness."

🇱🇧 It's easy to claim things, its easy to say things. But you'll see how things happen and progress.

I'm genuinely glad seeing everyone claiming Hezbullah done for, fighting Hezbullah through Israel, and attacking it daily in the most vulgar way.

Will anyone ever hold them accountable for their false claims and reading of the whole situation? From during the war when they celebrated our murder to after it, never had some Lebanese been so open to showing joy about Israeli attacks on Lebanese.

I want to see their joy fade in the months and years to come, and how Hezbullah will shine again like the bright sun.

Hezbullah will never fall and inshallah they will never fail.

🇱🇧 Independent MPs today in a tweet on X:

"We elected a president
A new beginning for Lebanon
We got rid of the dominance of weapons and left the axis"

Will anyone ever hold them accountable for the lies and delusions? When was Lebanon part of an axis as a whole? What dominance of weapons?

— 🇮🇷🇮🇷 NEW: The IRGC, through Tasnim News, has unofficially revealed a new loitering munition called 'Ridwan' amid the ongoing '19th Great Prophet' (or 'Eqtedar') military drills, which started five days ago with air defense exercises with various domestic systems at the Natanz nuclear site.

❗️Israeli forces blew up several houses in the Al-Kharzeh area between Ramyeh and Aita al-Shaab.

Additional demolitions in Kfarkila

And to celebrate our new president, Israeli drones are flying over Beirut

— ❗️🇮🇷 🇮🇷 NEW: General Shaykhian, Commander of the Air Defense Unit of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, announces that a newly tested anti-ballistic missile defense system will soon become operational and will be integrated within Iran's extensive air defense network

الي بيعطيني راحة، انو أنا على يقين انو
قيادة حزب الله عم تشتغل لتحقيق الخير للدنيا و الآخرة تبعيتي

هيدا شي بيعطي طمأنينة لكل خيار عم ياخدو، لأن البيع و الشراء بالسياسة و العسكر مع الله بس

ولا مرة اشتغلو لدنيا بدون اخرة، و لا استغلو لملك و جاه و مال شخصي لهم. اشتغلو بإخلاص لخدمة شيعة ال البيت بلبنان و لبنان ككل

اليقين هيدا يعني شوف الخير بالنصر و الهزيمة، بالربح و الخسارة و افهم انو عملو افضل ما يمكن ضمن قدرتهم و الوضع المادي من حيث المقومات و القدرة


يقينا، كله خير

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 Is this an American armed drone over south Lebanon?

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Another photo from the U.S drone over south Lebanon.

So not only does Israel have air dominance in the whole Middle East, and the most advanced drone fleet...they are now being helped by the U.S. military over Lebanon?

Who gave permission from the Lebanese army or government for the U.S. drone to fly over south Lebanon?

🇱🇧 Lebanese Sunni MP Melhem al-Hujairy wearing a pin with the picture of Sayyed Hassan today in the parliament.

📸 In 1982, Melhem traveled all the way from Arsal to Khaldeh, to defend against the Israeli invasion and destroy its tanks.

He's a Lebanese patriot and a man of honor and dignity

Let's be clear on something, because hypothetical discourse is not acceptable.

The Lebanese forces party are lying when they say they campaign for Joseph Aoun since day one.

Not only did they reject him before, he was never their go to during previous sessions. Naming in the media 10, then when one works you claim him, isn't exactly straightforward work.

- The LF nominated Michel Moawad
- The LF nominated Jihad Azour
- The LF nominated Samir Geagea

And only recently they nominated General Joseph Aoun.

📹 Not long before, during a press conference with Washington association he incited against Aoun, calling him an Aounist (for FPM)

And in this particular interview (video) he totally dismissed that Joseph Aoun has presidential aspirations and because of that he isn't their candidate.

🇱🇧 This hypocrisy includes the independent MPs, the Kataeb party, Muawad and even Fouad Makhzoumeh.

They were clear for years: We prefer an empty presidential palace over Aoun.

But people, have a memory of a goldfish.

And finally, their supporters are delusional liars.

That's the type of people we are doing politics with.
