Israeli Airstrikes in Beirut Threaten Fragile Ceasefire with Hezbollah
Israeli military jets have conducted multiple airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting Hezbollah positions and missile sites. These attacks mark the third time Israel has struck the area since a ceasefire was established in late November, raising fears that the fragile truce could collapse. The Israeli army issued evacuation warnings before the strikes, which specifically targeted a hangar and missile infrastructure. The escalation comes amid heightened tensions and concerns that renewed conflict could erupt between Israel and Hezbollah. The situation is drawing international attention due to the risk of broader regional instability.

Inside the Secretive Conclave: How the Next Pope Will Be Chosen After Francis
Following Pope Francis' funeral, the Catholic Church will initiate the centuries-old Conclave process to select his successor. Cardinals from around the world will gather in secrecy, taking an oath and being locked inside until a new pope is chosen. The process is steeped in tradition, including the dramatic 'extra omnes' command to clear the room of non-cardinals. Unlike political elections, the Conclave is highly secretive and unpredictable, with no clear candidates or party lines. The late pope's burial will also break with tradition, taking place at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome.

Labor and Coalition Clash Over $200 Million Telehealth Expansion Ahead of Election
In the lead-up to the federal election, healthcare has become a central issue as Labor promises to rebrand and expand the national telehealth hotline, offering free after-hours access to all Australians. The $204 million plan would turn Healthdirect into 1800 MEDICARE, broadening its reach and integrating it more closely with GP services. The Coalition has dismissed the move as merely a rebranding of existing services but has pledged to match the funding if elected. Both major parties are now committed to expanding telehealth, making it a key battleground in their pitches to voters. This focus underscores the importance of accessible healthcare in the upcoming election.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar Step In to Clear Syria's World Bank Debt, Paving Way for Reconstruction Aid
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have announced they will jointly pay off Syria's outstanding $15 million debt to the World Bank. This move is expected to unlock access to crucial funding for Syria, which has been struggling to rebuild after years of civil war. The debt repayment will allow the World Bank to approve grants for reconstruction projects and support the country's public sector, which has been paralyzed by conflict and economic hardship. The decision was made during recent meetings in Washington involving the World Bank and IMF. This marks a significant step in regional efforts to help stabilize and rebuild Syria's economy.
