The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is still officially in place, but Israeli airstrikes have not stopped. Israel continues to target what it says are Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah keeps firing rockets into northern Israel. The conflict has been largely overshadowed by the war with Iran. Ahmad Sharawi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies believes that Israel may have an unlikely ally in the region to support its fight against Hezbollah: Syria.

Amid geopolitical volatility and economic fragility, François Picard is pleased to welcome John Denton, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Denton is warning that “the Strait of Hormuz is about much more than oil and gas”: We are drifting toward a food security crisis of global proportions. While headlines fixate on oil and conflict, Denton insists that “the sharpest issue at the moment is actually the deterioration of access to fertilizer”, a development he links directly to “cataclysmic risk” for global food systems. Equally striking is his re-evaluation of geopolitical actors. Syria, once wartorn, unstable and isolated, is now described as making an “extraordinary contribution” to global trade reconfiguration, once unthinkable: “something we would not have thought about before.” This unexpected shift underscores a broader theme: the fluidity of the global order in times of crisis. At the heart of Denton’s argument lies a simple but urgent principle: “this is not a humanitarian gesture, that’s actually keeping a food system operating.” In other words, the stakes couldn’t be higher, this is not just a moral issue, this affects the entire system: we are touching the very foundations of economic and human stability.
