Ancient Arab Migrations Unearthed, Political Ripples, and Global Tensions: A Week of International Developments

Saudi historian reveals ancient Arab migrations and first use of "Arab"; geopolitical tensions and electoral impacts loom as Hezbollah vows retaliation against Israel.
At the recent Riyadh International Book Fair, Saudi historian Dr. Suleiman Al-Theeb unveiled intriguing insights about ancient Arab migrations from central Arabia, highlighting the establishment of historic kingdoms in Mesopotamia, Greater Syria, and Egypt, alongside the first recorded use of the term "Arab" during the Assyrian era.

Shifting gears to the upcoming U.S. presidential election, Jill Stein of the Green Party warns that a lack of satisfaction among Arab Americans with U.S. policies towards Israel might sway the election, potentially affecting Kamala Harris's campaign, as Stein sees no clear lesser evil between Harris and Trump among crucial Muslim voters.

Meanwhile, a somber moment as an Israeli campaign group confirms the tragic death of Idan Shtivi, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival during a Hamas attack a year ago, highlighting the ongoing impact as Israel marks the attack's anniversary.

In a story of resilience, two climbers from the UK and US were dramatically rescued from a peak in India after being stranded for days, thanks to an 80-hour operation by the Indian Air Force aided by a French mountaineering team, showcasing international teamwork and determination.

Over in Myanmar, the nation mourns as Zaw Myint Maung, a pro-democracy leader and close ally of Aung San Suu Kyi, passes away shortly after his release from military custody due to health issues, leaving behind a legacy of resistance against the country's military rule.

Finally, rising tensions are evident on the Gaza conflict's anniversary, with Hezbollah declaring its intent to counter Israeli "aggression," introducing rocket attacks in southern Lebanon and prompting the Israeli army to intensify operations, illustrating growing complexity in the region.
