Arab League Appoints First VP, Saudi Arabia Steps Up Support for Gaza Amid Escalating Lebanon-Israel Conflict

Hassan bin Moejeb Al-Huwaizi named first VP of Union of Arab Chambers; Saudi Arabia pledges financial aid to Palestinians amid Gaza crisis.
In a significant development, Hassan bin Moejeb Al-Huwaizi has been appointed as the first Vice President of the Union of Arab Chambers during its 135th session in Doha. His call for enhancing intra-Arab trade, which currently stands at a mere 13.8 percent of the region's total foreign trade, underscores the potential for regional economic growth.

Building on the theme of support, Saudi Arabia announced it would provide monthly financial aid to Palestinians to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This initiative not only reinforces the Kingdom’s long-standing support for Palestine but also emphasizes its commitment to a just resolution, envisioning an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Meanwhile, in New York, Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, general supervisor of Saudi Arabia's KSrelief, met with UN Counter Terrorism Chief Vladimir Voronkov at the 79th UN General Assembly. Their discussions on global humanitarian efforts saw commendation for KSrelief's projects aimed at alleviating suffering worldwide.

Turning to corporate news, Abdullah Al-Oshaiwan has been named general manager of Imagination Saudi Arabia, with a mission to drive growth in line with Vision 2030. Known for his role in managing major events like the 2024 Esports World Cup, Al-Oshaiwan brings a wealth of expertise, holding a degree in supply chain management and a project management certification.

In a tragic escalation, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike on his Beirut stronghold, intensifying the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Despite the violence, Lebanon's Minister of Public Health, Firass Abiad, affirms that Lebanese society remains unified, reflecting solidarity even within Hezbollah's Shia base.

The conflict's reach has also affected international citizens, as a second French national has been killed in Lebanon due to ongoing Israeli strikes against Hezbollah. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has arrived in Beirut to deliver humanitarian aid and address the situation, following the recent death of an 87-year-old Frenchwoman in an explosion.
