The mission of the British consulate in Jerusalem ends today
We reject the Israeli government's position that it has the legal right to close the British consulate in Jerusalem
We will continue dialogue with Britain to raise issues of common interest
But anything beyond that, especially regarding the presence of Syrian forces on the ground, I think would be a completely different proposition, and I think Damascus would avoid it, given the priorities it must focus on in Syria.
The new Syria sending personnel on defensive missions and in very small numbers to the holiest sites in the Islamic world, alongside providing technical support to neutralize incoming drones, would carry huge and positive symbolic significance.
The division of Iran means Israel reaching Medina
We are still improvising, and it looks like one big improvisation.
Even if this compensation payment were real, it would not be enough.
In the era of President Donald Trump's administration, Hezbollah will never recover, and it will not rebuild its terrorist infrastructure.
Hezbollah has every reason to pass stories like this through anonymous sources. It can claim whatever it wants, but the money is not there.
The discussion about the possibility of resuming large-scale combat operations in Iran has increased. The chances of it happening before the elections are not high, but we do not rule it out. After the midterm elections, these chances rise significantly.
The United States is in a very strong position, with its control of the Strait of Hormuz and the collapse of the Iranian economy. Iran has suffered massive destruction, and things will go in one of two directions: the easy way or the hard way.
The department's job is to prepare military options and present them to the president
What is happening is not a detail or a passing incident: it is an integrated path that cannot be stopped except by striking the sources of power that kept this system standing: disarmament... drying up funding... and opening the assassination files: from here begins the recovery of the republic.
It is no longer acceptable for weapons to remain outside the state, their funding outside oversight, and the assassination files outside accountability.
Every additional day of occupation in the south, the Iranian-operated armed organization bears the consequences of this occupation.
Who will take care of them if I leave?
Everything in Lebanon is postponed
one of the most complex psychological and social phases in its modern history
It is too early to talk about a specific or general increase rate, and all that can be said is that there are ongoing upward pressures, especially in health insurance.
A distinction must be made between the rise in total premiums written in the market and the increase in the price of the insurance policy for the insured. An increase in total premium volume may result from an increase in the number of contracts or the size of coverages or a change in portfolio composition, and does not necessarily mean that prices rose by the same percentage.
Hospitals demanded a 25% increase, which is a high rate that cannot be accepted because it would require an increase in hospitalization insurance premiums for the insured. Insurance companies have not raised their premiums, knowing that laboratories and even traffic experts are demanding an increase in their fees.
I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize but I doubt I will win.
Lebanon is not the most affected in the region in terms of oil import sources, but it lacks strategic fuel reserves, which limits its ability to absorb any external shock.
The repercussions of the Strait of Hormuz crisis are significant for Lebanon and the global economy, but they are not the only factor behind the rise in prices; the Russian refinery crisis is an additional and direct factor, especially since Ukraine targeted about 50 percent of the Russian refineries on which a large part of global markets, particularly Middle Eastern countries, rely.
If the situation continues as it is, we will be facing an economic recession that may approach 10 percent, exceeding previous expectations that were around 7 percent.
The Iranian claims about closing the Strait of Hormuz are untrue; navigation continues to transport goods and energy supplies under our protection.
The strait has become open and oil flows have begun returning to normal levels.
Iran must take concrete and substantive steps to reduce its nuclear capabilities.
Three years since the sacred crossing: the day the arms of men broke the occupation's security theory once and for all, leaving neither deterrence, nor decisiveness, nor warning, thanks be to God.
