Back in 2018 I was working with the Lebanese Interior ministry in registering the votes, including the ones from the diaspora.
We had at least two full bags of votes from Michigan/Dearborn that were discarded because the system didn't have their polling centers on the software.
The fact that it happened again in 2022 is pathetic. It is likely voter suppression.

Prominent Lebanese opposition coalition โVote for Changeโ that has candidates all over Lebanon, saluted and sang the UAE anthem, as a thanks for hosting it and the expatriate election.
It is notable that the UAE is a tribal absolute monarchy, with a semblance of elections for the Federal National Council, โan advisory quasi-parliamentary bodyโ of 40 members (Wiki). 20 are elected by a number of โhand-pickedโ citizens who have voting rights, and 20 appointed by the rulers of each emirate. The UAE is โan autocracy with the sheen of a progressive, modern stateโ (NYT). It has no formal commitment to free speech.

What looks [Image 1] like a Syrian M302 [Image 2] ballistic missile but with a new warhead, likely modified into a PGM.
This exact warhead was seen in an earlier video last year published by Hezbullah to "showcase" their PGM capability [Image 3].

โฏ The other unidentified missile has a similar canister to the Iranian land attack cruise missile - Martyr Abu Mahdi.
If identified correctly, this would be the first time Hezbullah displays a weapon before using it at war.
