Aug 1 - The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran has deprived Hamas of one of its most astute political strategists, but analysts have identified three main contenders for his replacement. The decision will likely impact Hamas's future identity and evolution, between becoming a guerilla group or accepting difficult political compromises.

Strategic Partnership between United Nations, Arab League Vital for Transformation of Region, Senior Official Tells Security Council
United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, commended the robust relationship between the Organization and the League of Arab States (LAS).
8 June 2023 - https://press.un.org/en/
Founded in March 1945, the League of Arab States (or Arab League) is a loose confederation of 22 Arab nations.
According to its charter, the founding members [7] of the Arab League—Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Transjordan, and Yemen—agreed to seek “close cooperation.”

Iran and Turkey are not Arab countries and their primary languages are Farsi and Turkish respectively. Arab countries have a rich diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and religious communities. These include Kurds, Armenians, Berbers and others. There are over 300 million Arabs.
Iranian people do not speak Arabic, but rather Persian or “Farsi.” While there is diversity in Iran, the majority of the Iranian people are culturally, ethnically, and religiously unique from their surrounding neighbors.
Given its location in the Middle East, Muslim majority, and language which resembles Arabic, Iran is often mislabeled as an Arab nation. A cognate of “aryan,” Iran means “land of the Aryans” and is excluded from the list of Arab League nations in the Middle East/North Africa region.
an Arab as “one whose native language is Arabic”. The reference book says the term historically included the “nomadic Semitic inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula” and in modern usage encompasses the Arabic-speaking people stretching from Mauritania to southwestern Iran. With the exception of various minority ethnic groups in Iran (one of which is Arab), Iranians are Persian. Persian history largely begins with King Cyrus the Great, who is credited with the liberation of Babylon in 528 BC, and the oldest known charter of human rights, referred to as the Cyrus Cylinder, which is housed in London’s British Museum. Persian and Arab histories only merge in the 7th century with the Islamic conquest of Persia.

There is no lone trigger for these moves, but data on Friday that showed the U.S. economy did not generate as many jobs as expected in July has been a major catalyst. A rise in Japanese interest rates on July 31 has made bets on a cheap yen.

All three earthquakes have stemmed from the town of Califon in northern New Jersey, which unleashed the 4.8 magnitude quake last week. The event was the strongest one to hit the East Coast since 2011 and was reported as the most powerful epicenter to strike the area since 1884.

One of the tombs was first discovered in the 1930s, only to be reburied and excavated again in the 1990. Having undergone extensive restoration, the city of Ashkelon will create a special archaeology park to display the two tombsA worker touches up an ancient wall drawing of Greek goddess Demeter at an archaeological tomb site in Ashkelon, Israel, on Tuesday August 27, 2024
The tomb also includes an illustration of Medusa, the terrible female creature with snakes for hair whose gaze turned people to stone. In Greek mythology, Medusa was a fearsome foe slain by the hero Perseus, who used her head as a weapon before giving it to the war goddess Athena, who affixed it to her shield.
Ashkelon, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of the Gaza Strip, has a rich history of archaeology. In addition to the Romans, the city was also home to Philistines during the early Iron Age, around 3,000 years ago.
Both will be open to the public inside the new park during the upcoming Sukkot holiday in October.

Aug 29 - An ancient black stone seal from the First Temple period bearing a name in paleo-Hebrew and an image of a Mesopotamian-style winged figure has been found in Jerusalem near the Western Wall, the Israel Antiquities Authority revealed on Thursday. The seal, which doubled in function as an amulet, is the only provenanced evidence ever found anywhere from Syria to Egypt for imagery of Mesopotamian winged genies, the archaeologists say.
Any seal from that time – about 2,700 years ago – is extremely rare, say Dr. Yuval Baruch and Navot Rom, the archaeologists directing the excavation on behalf of the IAA near the southern wall of the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and who actually found the seal. The quality of its craftsmanship is equally rare – in part.

The dead freshwater fish filled the bay 320 kilometers (200 miles) north of Athens, and nearby rivers. Water levels were swollen by floods in 2023, followed by months of severe drought.
