Documentary 'Europe’s New Faces' Offers Intimate Look at Displacement

Documentary 'Europe’s New Faces' Offers Intimate Look at Displacement

The documentary 'Europe’s New Faces' by Sam Abbas provides a unique perspective on the European migrant crisis. Unlike traditional narratives, the film presents the experiences of migrants through a series of vignettes, capturing both the harrowing and mundane aspects of their journey from Libya to Italy. The documentary is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the lives of migrants in a Parisian building, while the second follows a rescue operation by Médecins Sans Frontières. Abbas employs a humanist approach, avoiding individual narratives to emphasize the collective experience of displacement.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Criticizes Iran, Highlights Hezbollah's Refusal to Disarm Amid US Deadline

Lebanese Foreign Minister Criticizes Iran, Highlights Hezbollah's Refusal to Disarm Amid US Deadline

Lebanon's Foreign Minister, Youssef Rajji, has publicly criticized Iran's influence in Lebanon and confirmed that Hezbollah refuses to disarm, despite a looming U.S. deadline. Rajji emphasized Lebanon's efforts to distance itself from Iranian influence and strengthen diplomatic ties to maintain neutrality and protect against potential Israeli military action. He acknowledged that while 80% of Hezbollah's weapons south of the Litani River have been dismantled, the group continues to resist full disarmament. Amid these tensions, Israeli military operations against Hezbollah have persisted, with recent strikes targeting Hezbollah training sites. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has prioritized the return of prisoners held by Israel in ongoing negotiations. The situation remains tense as significant meetings are expected in the coming weeks, with concerns over potential Israeli military escalation.
