The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Bitcoin Price Hits New Record High Above $71,000
Bitcoin prices hit a new record high of above $71,000 on Monday. The biggest cryptocurrency hit a fresh high of $71,263.78, as per data on CoinDesk.
As of 1:11 pm, the Bitcoin price was trading at $71,173.99, a change of 2.55% over the past 24 hours.
The jump in Bitcoin price lifted the token’s market capitalization to $1.40 trillion. In the year 2024 so far, Bitcoin prices have rallied more than 67%.
The cryptocurrency prices have been boosted by a flood of cash into new spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) as well as hopes that the US Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates.
Bitcoin price movements have been influenced by several factors, including institutional adoption, macroeconomic trends, regulatory developments, and investor sentiment. Moreover, the recent remark by Fed Chair Jerome Powell reaffirmed the interest rate cut later this year through a careful approach.
