Snippet:
That Joseph Aoun is now widely nicknamed in Lebanon "the president of others on our land" - a reappropriation of his own description of resistance to Israel's aggression since the November 2024 ceasefire as "the war of others on our land" - is a measure of how thoroughly he has been delegitimised in the eyes of a significant portion of the public.
