The state visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham to the UAE marks a significant moment, highlighting the strong and enduring ties between the two nations. The discussions with President Sheikh Mohamed underscore the historical relationship and the commitment to further strengthen bilateral relations. The grand ceremony at Qasr Al Watan, complete with cultural performances and military honors, showcased the rich heritage and traditions shared between Oman and the UAE. Economically, the impressive annual trade volume of over $14 billion between Oman and the UAE reflects the robust economic partnership and mutual cooperation. The proposed rail link from the Port of Sohar to Abu Dhabi holds the promise of enhancing regional trade and connectivity, opening up new opportunities for economic growth and collaboration. This visit and the proposed initiatives signify a shared vision for a prosperous future and deeper cooperation between Oman and the UAE. #OmanUAERelations #BilateralTrade #RegionalConnectivity #EconomicGrowth #DiplomaticRelations 🌟🤝🚆🌊🛤️💼

#Apartheid defined. 1940s: from Afrikaans, literally ‘separateness’, from Dutch apart ‘separate’ + -heid (equivalent of -hood). Apartheid refers to the implementation and maintenance of a system of legalized racial segregation in which one racial group is deprived of political and civil rights. The Apartheid (1948 to 1994) in South Africa was the racial segregation under the all-white government of South Africa, which dictated that non-white South Africans (a majority of the population) were required to live in separate areas from whites and use separate public facilities, and contact between the two groups would be limited. The different racial groups were physically separated according to their location, public facilities, and social life. #Israel is VERY different from South Africa and as far from the concept of racial segregation as possible. In fact, in 1991, Israel airlifted/rescued Ethiopian Jews and brought them to Israel so that they could be integrated into Israeli society. For an official analysis regarding Israel and apartheid: "Israel treats all of its citizens—be they Jew, Arab, or Druze—equally before the law, irrespective of any racial or ethnic differences. And, Israeli policies regarding application of military law, administrative detentions, defensive use of force, security check points, etc., in the “West Bank” and the Gaza Strip are all lawful security measures permitted under the Law of Armed Conflict. Accordingly, Israel’s actions are the very antithesis of apartheid, which should put to rest the apartheid lie once and for all."

Tensions are escalating in the Middle East with Hezbollah's possibly planning to attack Cyprus transportation infrastructure. Irans threats of naval actions against Israeli maritime interests could also impact vessel flagged by allied nations. Key maritime routes, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Strait of Hormuz, may face disruptions due to military activities. As a result insurance and operational costs can rise significantly. Here are my recommendations for Shipping Companies and also to Security Teams onboard vessels sailing in these areas: Enhanced Vigilance and Intelligence Gathering: Maintain close monitoring of geopolitical developments and integrate real-time intelligence into operational planning. Strengthened Onboard Security Measures: Implement robust security protocols, including armed guards, and conduct regular security drills. Route Diversification: Consider alternative shipping routes to avoid high-risk areas whenever possible. Collaboration with Maritime Security Agencies: Engage with international maritime security organizations to stay updated on threats and receive guidance on best practices. Crew Training and Preparedness: Ensure that all crew members are trained to handle security threats and emergency situations effectively.

Technology applied to security becomes a decisive step

Al Arabiya News Channel: Spokespersons for the United States Department of Defense did not respond to our repeated requests for additional details about the targeted sites. However, Mohammed Al-Basha, founder of Basha Report and an expert on Houthi affairs and the weapons used by Iran and militias in the region, confirmed to #AlArabiya and #AlHadath that Sana'a witnessed military funerals, and satellite images revealed damage to tunnel entrances in Al-Hafa and Jarban in Sana'a, as well as in Al-Abla in Saada due to U.S. airstrikes." He also highlighted satellite imagery showing damage to tunnels or mountain storage facilities in Al-Hirah, located about 3 kilometers west of Al-Shahwani Farms, Wadi Shahwan, and Tabbat Al-Shuqra. This site is a former military location in Harf Sufyan in Amran Province, north of Sana'a. Despite this, the Houthis' ability to conduct strikes and launch attacks on commercial or military vessels does not seem to have been significantly impacted. The Iran-aligned militia attacked the destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance, forcing U.S. warships to counter a complex assault involving 8 drones, 5 anti-ship ballistic missiles, and 4 anti-ship cruise missiles.
