Lebanon's political scene has been notably influenced by international allies, with Joseph Aoun being a preferred candidate of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The parliamentary voting session, marked by chaotic scenes and loud disagreements, represents a critical point in Lebanon's ongoing struggle to establish a governing authority.
