Last-minute push by Saudi Arabia helped Lebanon elect a new president.

Joseph Aoun , a US -backed army chief, won the vote in Lebanon 's parliament on Thursday .

He took an oath and gave an Earth -shattering, seemingly well-rehearsed speech, vowing to usher in Lebanon ’s new era’.

Hezbollah appears to be meeting this moment with a quiet and mysterious resignation.

The militant group received a rapid succession of body blows during the two-month war with Israel in the fall.

The ousting of Assad , who had opened his territory to the group’s supply lines with Iran , severely limited its ability to rearm.

The group has also agreed to withdraw its fighters from southern Lebanon , its primary battlefield with Israel .
