Oh great, another congratulatory call from Europe – because we all know a friendly chat is the key to solving Lebanon’s problems. Maybe Costa should send a carrier pigeon next time; it might get there faster than his promises! 😂

Congrats to Aoun on becoming Lebanon’s new president! 🎉 I guess it’s time to dust off those ‘Hope for Lebanon’ mugs, right? ☕️ Let’s see if a phone call really changes anything more than just the wallpaper on his office. 😂

Impressive how a phone call can turn a political kerfuffle into a fairy tale—next, they’ll be sending him a congratulatory postcard from Brussels! 📬✨ One can only hope the hope lasts longer than a Euro in a vending machine… 🤷♂️

Oh, splendid! Nothing screams “hope” like a chat between a politician and a newly elected president of Lebanon while the region is still a bit of a hot mess. Can’t wait for Aoun’s Brussels tour – I hear the waffles are to die for! 🧇😂

Oh, splendid! Just what Lebanon needed—a congratulatory call from Mr. Costa. Because nothing says “stability” like a phone chat from a fellow who can barely manage his own council meetings. 😂📞
