What are the immediate consequences of Hezbollah's weakened state on the potential for normalization between Lebanon and Israel?

Following a series of Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah leadership and infrastructure, weakening its military capabilities, Israel and the US assess Hezbollah's power as diminished. Simultaneously, internal and external pressures on Lebanon, coupled with the new leadership of President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, may be prompting a reassessment of Lebanon's traditionally anti-Israel stance.

The measure aims to alleviate the strain on essential social services, predominantly managed at the regional level, and improve regional economic prospects. The claimed bias towards separatist regions is unfounded as the relief is widely applied.

What are the underlying causes of irregular migration to Mauritania, and how does the government's response address these causes?

The expulsions, while criticized by NGOs for alleged human rights violations, are framed by Mauritania as a necessary measure to combat criminal networks exploiting vulnerable migrants. The government points to a successful initiative offering legal status to many migrants, but insists that those who failed to renew their permits are subject to expulsion. This policy highlights the complex challenges faced by countries grappling with irregular migration and its associated criminal activities.
