The Challenges for Lebanon if It Gets into Bed with BRICS
Lebanon’s profound economic crisis has ignited a debate over the best route to recovery, with some voices advocating for a pivot away from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in favor of the BRICS bloc as an alternative source of support. Given Lebanon’s complex political structures, deep-rooted alliances, and economic challenges that resonate with those faced by BRICS countries, closer alignment with this emerging bloc appears increasingly plausible. Yet, a shift toward BRICS, while potentially appealing, necessitates a nuanced examination of both its prospective benefits and the challenges Lebanon would face in embarking on this path.

Senator Pledges to Push for U.S. Recognition of Golan Heights
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday pledged to work on his country's recognition of Golan Heights as part of the Israeli territory, saying that he would speak with President Donald Trump about this issue.
“There is no construct I can imagine now or any time in the future for the state of Israel to give the Golan up,” Graham said during a tour of the frontier with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"It is inconceivable that Israel could ever give it to anyone given the threats Israel faces," he stated.
Syria's Foreign Ministry blasted Graham's statement as "arrogant", saying that Israeli occupation of the Goland Heights will eventually end.
The United Nations consider the Golan Heights to be Syrian occupied lands, the ministry's statement noted.
It also pledged that residents will continue their struggle until their land is liberated.
Captured from Syria during the 1967 Middle East War, the Golan Heights have been annexed to Israel since 1981 amid global divergences.
