Le Monde: Taliban assault on women's rights reaches a new level in Afghanistan
Since the Taliban regained control in August 2021, women's rights in Afghanistan have been increasingly restricted.

The UN has expressed grave concern over this decree, emphasizing the detrimental effects on humanitarian aid access for over half the Afghan population. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that excluding women from public life hinders the country's political, economic, and social progress.

Times Of Israel: US envoy reportedly to visit Beirut in bid to bolster ceasefire before IDF withdrawal
US negotiator Amos Hochstein is set to visit Beirut next week as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which requires Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

The ceasefire agreement mandates the Lebanese Armed Forces to take control of southern Lebanon within 60 days. With the deadline approaching, Hochstein's visit aims to facilitate the transition. Meanwhile, Israel's Defense Minister has instructed the IDF to prepare for potential escalations, as many residents displaced by the conflict have yet to return home.
