Over-fishing, driven largely by piracy from foreign fishing vessels and destructive fishing methods have wreaked havoc for coastal communities. A new initiative is barring fishing in an area of 700 square kilometers in the country’s southernmost seas, as FRANCE 24’s Justice Baidoo reports.

All eyes are on Washington as Israel and Lebanon move toward historic talks that could reshape regional dynamics after decades of silence. Reports suggest a possible first contact between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joseph Aoun, though confusion remains over whether the call will actually take place.
The United States is playing a central mediating role, pushing for dialogue even as tensions with Hezbollah continue on the ground.
