Question:<br /><br />Al-Araby Al-Jadeed published on its website on 21/1/2025: “... Nawaf Salam left after meeting with President Joseph Aoun this evening, Tuesday, at Baabda Palace, carrying a black file in his hand without revealing whether he had submitted any draft names or a ministerial formation...”, noting that: After a presidential vacancy that exceeded two years due to political differences, the Lebanese parliament elected Aoun as president of the country on 9/1/2025. Four days after his election, Aoun tasked Nawaf Salam with forming a new Lebanese government. (Al-Jazeera 20/1/2025).<br /><br />What is happening in Lebanon regarding the swiftness of agreement on the appointment of Army Commander Joseph Aoun as president on 9 January 2025 after a vacancy in the position that lasted for more than two years, then a few days later the agreement on Salam Nawaf as prime minister on 13 January 2025? How did all this happen so quickly? Then does this speed mean that work was and is still being prepared to change the face of Lebanon internally and externally, or is it a usual change, as is happening in the region?
