AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Gaza Diplomacy: US envoy Jared Kushner met Hamas leaders in Egypt as Washington pushes its Gaza “disarmament” peace plan, with Israel still insisting Hamas must be fully disarmed before any troop withdrawal. Regional Security: Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz slowed after tanker attacks, while US-Iran talks to ease the crisis reportedly stalled—keeping oil prices supported. Lebanon Front: Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people, underscoring how the Gaza track is spilling into wider conflict. Mecca Defense Pact: Jordanian opinion pieces spotlight the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement linking Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan as a sign of shifting regional security architecture. Business & Markets: Investors stayed cautious amid Middle East risk and inflation worries; in Australia, NAB flagged home-lending pressure tied partly to the Middle East conflict and higher rates. Labour & Society: Bahrain’s talabat won an award for combating trafficking, citing its rider safety and worker-protection efforts.
