Saudi Arabia Recalls ANKER Power Banks, Celebrates National Day with Mercedes-Benz Deals, and Advocates Global Collaboration in Space and Peace Initiatives

Saudi Commerce Ministry recalls ANKER power banks over safety concerns, urges users to seek refunds.
The Saudi Ministry of Commerce announced a recall of ANKER power bank models A1642, A1647, and A1652 due to fire hazards and overheating issues. These power banks, made for Apple's MagSafe iPhones, are reported to have defective lithium-ion batteries that pose safety risks. Users are urged to discontinue use, store them safely, and contact ANKER for a refund.

Meanwhile, Juffali Automotive is celebrating Saudi National Day with special financing deals on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The enticing offers include the CLA Coupe with monthly payments of SR3,700, and the GLE Coupe and C-Class under the 50/50 payment program. These promotions provide an exciting opportunity for luxury car enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia.

On the international stage, Saudi Space Agency CEO Mohammed Al-Tamimi called for global collaboration in sustainable space exploration at a UN event. Held at New York's American Museum of Natural History, this event emphasized the role of space technology in achieving Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in climate action and disaster management. Al-Tamimi highlighted Saudi Arabia's initiatives and the critical need for worldwide partnerships.

In regional news, Jordanian authorities have cracked down on drug trafficking, arresting 19 individuals in extensive nationwide operations. Major drug seizures included 25,000 narcotic pills and substantial quantities of crystal meth. These cases have been moved to the State Security Court for further processing.

In Egypt, the government is advocating for peace amid increasing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. During a meeting with US Special Envoy Amos Hochstein, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty stressed the urgent need for ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank, reinforcing the importance of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 to ensure stability at the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Finally, in a major development at the United Nations, the General Assembly has adopted the "Pact for the Future," aiming to respond to global crises more effectively. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted the pact's comprehensive focus areas, from peace and security to digital cooperation and human rights. Despite some opposition, the pact was unanimously approved, setting a path for reforming international systems to address current and future challenges.
