أمن الاقتصاد المصري .. وما تبقى من الاقتصاد اللبناني .. مرتبط بأمن الاقتصاد الخليجي بشكل عام، والسعودي بشكل خاص. هذه ليست شعارات فارغة - تحويلات المصريين العاملين من الخارج كانت أحد أهم أسباب الأداء الأفضل من المتوقع للاقتصاد المصري في مواجهة عاصفة الحرب .. معظم هذه التحويلات من دول الخليج .. والسعودية تحديداً - تأثر القطاعات غير النفطية في الخليج قد يعني تراجعا في أعداد العاملين الأجانب .. رأينا الكويت تعيد هيكلة وزارة التعليم (مع أن البيان الرسمي لم يتعامل معها كأحد آثار الصراع) - في لبنان، تحويلات العاملين بالخارج أهم من أي وقت مضى مع عمق الانهيار الذي يعانيه الاقتصاد اللبناني - ليست الهدف هنا هو التلميح بفوقية اقتصاد على آخر أو دولة على أخرى. كل الهدف هو عرض هذه المعلومات كسياق مهم خاصة مع النقاش المستعر في مصر حول التدخل عسكرياً إلى جانب السعودية على سبيل المثال ملاحظة: نسب المصادر تستند إلى بيانات أقدم من الـ 12 شهراً الأخيرة ومصادرها مختلفة، في حين يستند حجم التحويلات حاليا إلى بيانات البنك المركزي (Info-graphics are AI generated)

Sad news. But Carlyle Murphy’s life is to be celebrated. She bravely reported on Iraq’s occupation from inside Kuwait, hiding from Iraqi soldiers. She reported insightfully on Saudi youth, well before MBS grabbed the spotlight. I’m forever grateful. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

God willing, his deeds will not cease, including through ongoing charity. May Allah have mercy on him, forgive him, and grant him the highest ranks of Paradise." Amin

FII is postponed, but the far more enjoyable show in Riyadh is still on. Fadel Chaker, to be fair to the titans of finance, has a much higher tolerance for risk.

As Jasper urged Heidi to run, she gasped “I can’t, let me die.” I may have, too, if I was injured like this at 63. With Jasper’s help she got to Palestinian rescuers. One put this Jewish mother on his back & carried her. I never want to hear “try being Jewish in Ramallah” again.
Latest on Heidi Levine: broken rib, four broken vertebrae, her finger was nearly cut off, multiple potential stabbing wounds. Surgery first thing in the morning.
