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.

Shakira to Perform at the Halftime Final of Copa America USA 2024
Shakira will perform at the Copa América final Sunday (July 14), CONMEBOL announced on Tuesday (July 9).
It will be the first time that the Colombian hitmaker will perform at the oldest national soccer tournament. The artist will sing during halftime of the match, scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where some 54,000 people are expected to attend.
“Shakira is an extraordinary South American star who has dazzled the entire world,” said Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL, in a statement. “Her songs are sung and danced to in every corner of the planet, turning her art into a global phenomenon that crosses borders and is enjoyed by millions of people. We are sure that her performance at the Copa América USA 2024 will enhance the message of healthy passion and unity through sport.”
Her hit “Puntería” featuring Cardi B is the official song of TelevisaUnivision’s 2024 Copa América CONMEBOL coverage.
Held in the United States with the participation of 16 CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams, the event began on June 20 and ends on July 14.
Known for her performances at major global events such as the Super Bowl and three World Cups, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer is set to entertain with a mix of her classic anthems and new hits.
The Barranquilla-born superstar recently launched her 12th studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran in March. The album peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 2 on Top Albums Sales, among other chart achievements. Shortly after launching her latest album, Shakira delivered a pop-up performance to more than 40,000 people at Times Square on the TSX stage.
