Wat we eerst wisten
- It had been 17 years since a Lebanese president last sat in the Oval Office. On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, that streak ended when Joseph Aoun crossed the threshold as the first head of state from Beirut to be received there since 2009 . The number that mattered most was the one President Donald Trump kept coming back to: the Hezbollah arsenal, and the question of who controls it.
