Categories:

As of today, 2:00 PM, April 17, 2023, the USD to Lebanese Lira exchange rate stands at 1 USD = 97,300 LBP. As Lebanon continues to face economic challenges, the focus turns to the region’s latest political and military developments.

Franjieh’s Presidential Election Possibility

According to a recent report by Annahar newspaper, Paris believes that Suleiman Franjieh’s election as president is still possible. France continues its efforts in this regard, as no other candidate has garnered Hezbollah’s support. To secure an Arab cover, France is working on convincing the Sunni component to endorse this choice and obtaining Saudi approval.

Hezbollah and its allies have stated that Saudi Arabia might abandon its conditions regarding the presidency due to the Iranian-Saudi agreement, which currently impedes Franjieh’s election. They believe Saudi Arabia will respond to this approach as part of a comprehensive settlement.

US Military Raid in Northern Syria

According to the US Central Command, a US helicopter raid in northern Syria resulted in the “probable death” of a senior leader of the Islamic State group. The IS leader, who remains unnamed, was responsible for planning terror attacks in the Middle East and Europe. Two other armed individuals were killed during the raid, while no civilians or US troops were harmed.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the raid led to violent clashes after the helicopter landed, marking the first such landing this year. Although the Islamic State group was defeated in Syria in 2019, sleeper cells continue to maintain a presence and periodically launch attacks on military and civilian targets.

As the USD to Lebanese Lira rate remains uncertain, Lebanon’s future relies on the outcomes of political meetings and regional military developments. Stay informed and engaged with the latest news about Lebanon’s economy and politics by following our updates.
