Times Of Israel: The IDF is acknowledging that soldiers’ helmets and body armor may be unsafe
The Israeli military has launched a website allowing soldiers to anonymously verify if their safety equipment meets official standards, acknowledging concerns over the safety of army-issued gear. This comes amid ongoing debates about the adequacy of protective equipment supplied to troops during the Gaza conflict.
The website indicates that certain outdated gear, such as ceramic body armor plates made before 2009, should be replaced. It reflects a shift in the military's stance, as it previously discouraged donations and claimed that such gear could be harmful. The initiative aims to enhance awareness of safety standards among soldiers.

Le Monde: The expansion of liquefied natural gas, a potential 'climate disaster,' is being fueled by financial investments
The construction of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals is projected to emit over 10 billion tons of greenhouse gases by 2030, equating to the annual emissions from global coal-fired plants. This surge in LNG infrastructure is driven by investments despite concerns about its environmental impact.
NGO Reclaim Finance warns that these projects undermine the Paris Agreement and perpetuate fossil fuel dependence. With plans for 156 new terminals by 2030, primarily in the US, Qatar, Canada, and Mexico, the industry continues to prioritize energy security over climate commitments.
