Prominent members of Lebanon’s parliamentary majority and opposition have expressed displeasure at the prospect of a Syrian-Saudi effort to determine the composition of Lebanon’s next government.

The following is a letter sent by the brother of a friend of my mother to the Israeli Embassy in Ireland regarding their interception of an aid boat and the seizure of medical aid and toys set for Gaza:
To the Ambassador of Israel -
Your country is once again disgracing itself. This time it has committed an act of piracy: the arrest on the high seas of a boat, appropriately named “The Spirit of Humanity” (a spirit that your state forever seeks, in vain, to crush), and the confiscation of its cargo of medicines and toys for the beleaguered people of Gaza.
