<description><![CDATA[ Far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was once considered one of US President Donald Trump’s closest allies in Europe, but their relationship has recently deteriorated. As Caitlin Brown reports, Meloni has fallen out of favour with the US president in part due to her criticism of the war in Iran and her opposition to his public feud with the pope. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Gavin Lee is pleased to welcome former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Italy&#039;s former head of state offers an in-depth, insightful and thought-provoking reading of contemporary geopolitics, European cohesion, and leadership ethics. Speaking from the vantage point of a former leader of a major European country, he reflects on instability in global alliances, energy vulnerability in Europe, and the evolving nature of political leadership. His analysis is marked by a tension between pragmatism and principle, where shifting allegiances are both criticized and, at times, cautiously endorsed.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome Bilal Y. Saab, Senior Managing Director of TRENDS US.Former Pentagon Official in the first Trump administration. According to Saab, Lebanon is at a crossroads: the government is committed to reform, is fundamentally “pro-Lebanese” and rejects interference from external actors. The central challenge remains Hezbollah, an entrenched, hybrid actor operating across political, military, and economic domains. Rather than advocating for abrupt or violent confrontation, he emphasises a peaceful gradualist strategy, paired with nation-building efforts and sustained international support. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ François Picard welcomes Farès Boueiz, former Lebanese minister of foreign affairs. The ongoing Israeli-Lebanese talks cannot be described as a &quot;breakthrough&quot;, Boueiz argues, but rather as a technical prelude to meaningful negotiations. What we are witnessing, he suggests, is the exploratory stage of diplomacy. At the heart of the impasse lies a fundamental misalignment of objectives: Lebanon enters these discussions seeking an immediate ceasefire and the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, while Israel is pursuing what Boueiz describes as &quot;full political peace and normalisation&quot; of ties. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Simon Mabon, Professor of International Politics and Director of the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies at Lancaster University. He sees the current conflict between Lebanon and Israel as one defined more by layered, overlapping sovereignties. The talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials are, on the surface, historically significant. Yet they risk being misunderstood if treated as conventional diplomacy. The central issue is that Israel is not confronting the Lebanese state, but rather Hezbollah, a hybrid political and militant group. ]]></description>

He&#039;s advocating for a fundamentally different paradigm, one rooted in diplomacy, equality, and the end of occupation. According to Green, the ongoing military campaigns are not only strategically ineffective but morally corrosive and politically instrumentalised. And he argues the new controversial legislation on the death penalty is &quot;a discriminative, racist, and apartheid law&quot; that only targets Palestinians and does not apply to Israelis, namely the West Bank settlers. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ François Picard welcomes Farès Boueiz, former Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs. The ongoing Israeli-Lebanese talks cannot be described as a “breakthrough,” Boueiz argues, but rather as a technical prelude to meaningful negotiations. What we are witnessing, he suggests, is the exploratory stage of diplomacy. At the heart of the impasse lies a fundamental misalignment of objectives: Lebanon enters these discussions seeking an immediate ceasefire and the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, while Israel is pursuing what Boueiz describes as “full political peace and normalisation” of ties. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hungarians began voting on Sunday in closely watched parliamentary elections that could end nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban&#039;s 16-year stint in power as a self-described &quot;thorn&quot; in the EU&#039;s side. 

Orban, 62, who is seeking a fifth straight term, has transformed his country into a model of illiberal democracy, following Trump in casting migration and &quot;woke&quot; values as a &quot;civilisational&quot; threat. Former government insider Magyar, 45, burst onto the scene just two years ago, amassing support against the backdrop of economic stagnation, despite an electoral system skewed in favour of Orban&#039;s Fidesz party. Senior Reporter at 24.hu, Zsolt Kerner, shares his insights on this pivotal election and how the Hungarian electoral system works. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As Péter Magyar is set to become Hungary&#039;s new prime minister, with an astounding supermajority, FRANCE 24&#039;s Senior European Editor Armen Georgian is pleased to welcome Tamás Harangozó, Hungarian jurist, politician, and Deputy Leader of the MSZP Socialists in parliament. According to Harangozó, this election is nothing short of a collective civic awakening: a moment in which citizens, across ideological lines, have prioritized the democratic health of the country over over traditional party divisions. While Harangozó&#039;s political party wasn&#039;t even in the running, he is hailing the restoration of Hungary’s place within the Western democratic community and the possibility of a future ideological reconfiguration within a normalised political field. The decision by their party to withdraw from the general election was not just tactical, but reflective of a broader ethical imperative to enable systemic change. For the deputy leader, what we are witnessing is not the triumph of a political camp, but the reassertion of a political direction: Europe over isolation and democratic pluralism that rejects autocratic power. ]]></description>

<title>India hit by Middle East war: Millions face gas shortages</title>
<link>https://tribunesouthafrica.com/india-hit-by-middle-east-war-millions-face-gas-shortages</link>
<guid>https://tribunesouthafrica.com/india-hit-by-middle-east-war-millions-face-gas-shortages</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In the weeks leading up to the ceasefire, the impact of the war in the Middle East was felt far beyond the region, reaching countries such as India. The nation of nearly 1.5 billion people relies heavily on imports of cooking gas, or LPG, much of it sourced from the Middle East. When Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz – a critical global shipping route – supplies were severely disrupted. Long queues formed outside distribution centres in major cities, forcing many to turn to the black market. The conflict has also put at risk the lives of nearly ten million Indians living and working in Gulf countries. At least eight Indian migrant workers have been killed in war-related incidents. Many others remain stranded, unable to afford the high cost of flights home, as their families wait anxiously for their return. Even with a fragile ceasefire in place, those affected continue to live in precarity – and, for some, in grief. Report by Supriya Kumar, Fantine Dantzer, Alban Alvarez and Khansa Juned. ]]></description>

<title>‘Collective punishment’: At least 182 killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed 182 people – the deadliest single day since the start of the Israel–Hezbollah war. Israel launched a wave of strikes on central Beirut and other parts of the country, even as a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran came into effect. Iranian officials say the deal was meant to include Lebanon, but both Israel and Washington insist it does not. FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney speaks to Sami Nader, Director of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs, who says Lebanon is facing “collective punishment” from Israel, with the strikes justified by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that Lebanese authorities do not have full control over their territory. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ François Picard is pleased to welcome Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Ambassador of Pakistan to France and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO. According to Ambassador Zahra Baloch, this is less about victory in the conventional sense and more about the survival and recalibration of power. What we are witnessing is not the end of a war, but the emergence of competing narratives that each side must sustain for political legitimacy: both sides claim success, yet neither has truly secured any semblance of victory. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Lebanon’s health ministry said that Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed 182 people, the highest single-day death toll in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

<description><![CDATA[ Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Ali Vaez, Director of Iran Project &amp; Senior Advisor at the International Crisis Group. While the US sees the outcome as a decisive military victory, Vaez argues that the more consequential story lies in the reconfiguration of power within Iran. From Tehran’s perspective, survival in the face of overwhelming force constitutes a form of victory. At the same time, this war has not left Iran unchanged. Power has tilted toward more hardline actors, particularly the Revolutionary Guard, reshaping the internal hierarchy of the Islamic Republic.  ]]></description>
