Lebanon's president sides with Hezbollah, of course.  Hezbollah has taken over Lebanon  Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun speaks during a press conference after the EU Summit in Nicosia, Cyprus, Friday, April 24, 2026. (AP: Petros Karadjias) Hezbollah did not take over Lebanon in a single coup, but rather consolidated power over decades following its 1982 formation. Key milestones included maintaining its arms after the 1989 Taif Agreement, entering the cabinet in 2005, and asserting dominance through its military wing—regarded as a major state-within-a-state—throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

Lebanon and Hezbollah at odds over peace talks with Israel as strikes continue despite ceasefire, notes ABC's Matthew Doran.  Lebanon blames

Israel.                             
Israeli Iron Dome air defense systems launch to intercept missiles fired from Iran, in central Israel on Sunday, April 26, 2026.  Israel shot down missiles and drones after Iran launched unprecedented attack.

Hezbollah has reportedly launched more than 10,000 missiles, rockets and drones at Israel in the last 2 months.                        


Sgt. Idan Fooks, 19, from Petach Tikvah, serving in the 7th Armored Brigade's 77th Battalion, was killed by an explosive drone fired by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon yesterday.

 Six other soldiers were wounded in the attack. 

According to an Axios report based on multiple Israeli and American sources, Israel sent an Iron Dome air defense system to the United Arab Emirates at the start of the war with Iran, including personnel to operate it. 

According to the Emirati Defense Ministry, Iran launched 550 ballistic and cruise missiles as well as 2,200 drones. 

Most were intercepted, but some struck both military and civilian sites. 

                                              

       A Shahed 136 at an exhibition:  The HESA Shahed 136 (Persianشاهد ۱۳۶lit.'Witness 136'), also known by its Russian designation Geran-2 (RussianГерань-2lit.'Geranium-2'), is an Iranian-designed one-way attack drone, also referred to as a kamikaze drone or suicide drone, in the form of an autonomous pusher-propelled drone.

Israeli officials said that following a call with UAE President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the Israel Defense Forces to deploy an Iron Dome battery, including interceptors and dozens of soldiers to operate it. 

This was the first time an Iron Dome battery was 

transferred to another country. 

UAE has signed the Abrahamic Accords and has been a friend of Israel rather than an old enemy.  The Abraham Accords are a series of joint normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, brokered by the United States in 2020.

 The primary signatories that normalized relations are the United Arab Emirates (UAE)Bahrain, and Morocco.   Sudan also agreed to normalization and signed the declaration, though implementation has been delayed.  

The 1967 Arab League summit was held on August 29 in Khartoum as the fourth Arab League Summit in the aftermath of the Arab defeat by Israel in the Six-Day War, and is famous

 for its Khartoum Resolution, known as "The Three No's"

No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations

 with Israel.

Khartoum is the capital city of Sudan as well as Khartoum State. With an estimated population of 7.1 million people,

Since April 2023, there has been a civil war in Sudan between two primary factions of the country's military government. The conflict involves the internationally recognized government, controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by General Hemedti, who commands the broader Janjaweed coalition. People have been moved about and are starving.  It's a volatile country.
