  • The Israeli ship is drifting, ever more dangerously, in uncharted waters

  • Saudi Exchange Publishes Guidelines for Offering and Listing of Foreign Companies

    The Saudi Exchange published its guideline manual for foreign companies offering and/or listing on its Main Market. While current capital markets regulations and rules in Saudi Arabia permit such offerings, the lack of a clear criteria and process led to uncertainty among potential non-Saudi issuers, and may have deterred them from pursing listings or required them to restructure their operations in order to incorporate in Saudi Arabia before listing. In fact, to date there have been no cross-listings on the Saudi Exchange and only one dual-listing, which was the concurrent and dual-listing of Americana Restaurants in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in December 2022.

  • Lebanon’s Dangerous Campaign against Refugees

    Lebanon hosts 1.5 million Syrian refugees. It wants to get rid of most of them. Lebanese sovereignty is important, but so are the country’s humanitarian obligations and Lebanon’s role in regional security. A recent government scheme to deport Syrians in Lebanon who were not registered as refugees with the United Nations—nearly half of the 1.5 million refugees in Lebanon—may be a first step, and it is a potentially dangerous one. Lebanon’s Syrian refugee problem soon could become a regional problem, and neither the Middle East nor its Mediterranean neighbors need another one of those.

The extensive cave art includes six animal herding scenes, 23 identifiable depictions of sheep, 15 of ibex, seven of goats, and two of cattle.

    The evidence found at Umm Jirsan dates from the Neolithic (10,000 B.C.E.) to the Chalcolithic/Bronze Age (around 2,000 B.C.E.). The artifacts and rock art found at the site demonstrates that the site was occupied repeatedly and periodically by human groups for at least 7,000 years.
