Will Peace Deliver Justice to Lebanese Exiled in Israel?
For 26 years, the issue of Lebanese exiles to Israel has remained the most complex case in modern Lebanese history. This wound, still bleeding in the conscience of those families, also represents a political and humanitarian stain on the Lebanese state, or rather on the successive authorities that failed to address the matter objectively and with an untainted memory, free from the selectivity and distortions resulting from the dominance of the “Resistance Axis,” which appointed itself both adversary and judge, imposing its ideological perspective on the standards of treason and patriotism.

Natural Gas and Oil Forecast: Upward Trendline to Drive Buying in Energy Sector?
Early Wednesday trading shows oil prices down due to weak demand signals from China and rising U.S. stockpiles.
Oil prices declined in early trading on Wednesday, influenced by concerns over global demand triggered by economic stagnation in China and a potential increase in U.S. commercial oil stockpiles. Despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East following Iran’s attack on Israel, the anticipated response has not escalated oil prices as expected.
Market analysts suggest that the situation might remain contained, with possible intervention from major oil producers like Saudi Arabia to stabilize global supply. In the U.S., an unexpected rise in crude inventories further pressured oil prices, reflecting broader economic uncertainties.
Meanwhile, China’s mixed economic indicators for March, showing weak domestic demand, add to the complexities affecting the oil and natural gas forecast, indicating a bearish outlook for energy prices in the near term.
