Today's News: Middle East

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Saudi-Yemen Escalation: Houthi missile and drone strikes have hit Saudi airports and energy infrastructure, killing civilians and exposing gaps in the kingdom’s air defences. Riyadh has vowed a “serious” response, while Washington weighs intervention; unconfirmed reports say Syria is considering military support for Saudi Arabia. Energy Risks: The attacks are adding to fears of wider conflict and disrupted shipping, with oil prices climbing above $100 a barrel despite a proposed US-Russia diesel deal. Israel’s Election: Israelis vote on Oct. 27 in a contest that could decide Benjamin Netanyahu’s political future and the country’s direction after years of war. Religious Freedom: A Saudi appeals court sentenced Sri Lankan migrant worker Anojan Sivarasa to death over a Facebook comment deemed blasphemous; his appeal is pending.
