00:00Speaking of clashes, President Aoun now faces a few daunting tasks, from overseeing a ceasefire
00:06between Hezbollah and Israel, to save the country from its worst economic crisis.
00:12What do you think will be his biggest challenge?
00:15Let's start by saying that President Aoun has set the bar very high, to be honest.
00:20And I'm very good with that.
00:24But so much that there's some Lebanese are saying that if he delivers like 30 percent
00:28of his speech, they will be very grateful.
00:31However, he will face significant obstacles, particularly from parties benefiting from
00:39the current state of lawlessness.
00:41The biggest challenge will be standing firm and refusing not to make compromises with
00:46any political factions.
00:49One of the most powerful statements he made was no one is above the law and no one is
00:55protected.
00:57This single sentence lays the foundation for building a state, and it marks the first step
01:03towards an independent judiciary.
