    Some protesters called for an immediate ceasefire, a position the government has rejected

    Why Covid-19 jolted some Arab states?

    The flaws in the health systems of some MENA countries such as Tunisia, Lebanon and Jordan, which were struggling with sinking economies and other challenges, were exposed by the pandemic.
    Analysis
  • The exchange rate of the Sudanese pound has remained stable against foreign currencies, despite the conflict in Khartoum that has now entered its third month and recently expanded to a few states in western and central Sudan, says Dr. Omar Khlaif Gharaibeh of Al Al-Bayt University in Jordan.
    Dr Gharaibeh attributes Sudan's monetary stability to the localized conflict in Khartoum and increased reliance on local investment, compensating for the decline in foreign investment. He further emphasizes that the capital flight from Sudan has been minimal, due to the conflict being concentrated in Khartoum.

    Lebanon's official National News Agency said the Israeli strike on a house in the Khirbet Selm area killed a family of four," a couple and their two children, and one other person.

  • Aid boat ready to set sail from Cyprus for Gaza
    A boat laden with food for Palestinians in war-ravaged Gaza was "ready" to set sail from Cyprus, an NGO said, as fighting raged between Israeli troops and Hamas ahead of Ramadan. The sea route aims to counter aid access restrictions, which humanitarians and foreign governments have blamed on Israel.

    The UN has repeatedly warned of looming famine, particularly in the Palestinian territory's north where no overland border crossings are open.

    With ground access limited, countries have also turned to airdropping aid, although a parachute malfunction turned one delivery on Friday deadly.

  • Asif Ali Zardari: ‘Artful dodger’ returns as Pakistan president
    He has spent more than 11 years in jail, a long time even by the standards of Pakistani politicians, with a wheeler-dealer's talent for bouncing back after scandals. Back in 2009, the New York Times said he had a knack for "artful dodging" -- "maneuvering himself out of the tight spots he gets himself into".

    Initially a background character as Bhutto's consort, Zardari was stained by a bevy of corruption and other allegations

    Between 2008 and 2013, he ushered in constitutional reforms rolling back presidential powers, and the 68-year-old's second term will see him steer a largely ceremonial office.
