According to a report by France 24, Beirut officials express hope that Donald Trump, who is again running for US president, could help restore normality in south Lebanon. The region has suffered heavily from the conflict, as evidenced by an image captured in June 2026 showing an Israeli flag hanging from a damaged building in a village near the border. The photo, taken by a Reuters photographer, illustrates the aftermath of past clashes. Currently, there is no information on specific promises or plans from Trump, but the Lebanese side hopes his support could contribute to restoring stability in the border area.
