Lebanon’s parliament will hold a session in January to elect a new president, official Lebanese media reports, a day after an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire began and following more than two years of presidential vacuum.
“Speaker Nabih Berri called a parliament session to elect a president of the republic on January 9,” the official National News Agency reports, referring to the Hezbollah-aligned lawmaker.
