Iran and Israel seem to be returning to "proxy warfare" following a frontal conflict.
The world's attention may now shift back to Gaza, according to political analyst Tamer Qarmout, as the conflict between Iran and Israel appears to have reverted to its classic shadow war one day after suspected Israeli drones were shot down in Iran. Qarmout, an assistant professor of public policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, stated, "This round of direct military confrontation is over; now we're back to the previous rules of engagement, proxy warfare." According to Qarmout, this entails gunfire between Israel and Lebanon, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and attacks on armed organizations supported by Iran in Iraq and Syria. “Now the center of attention is going back to Gaza where there is an expectation that there will be a military operation in Rafah,” Qarmout said.

Japanese banks are preparing with training for a move in policy rates.
Japan's central bank has kept interest rates zero for the past eight years to boost the country's stagnating economy. In other words, banks were incentivized to lend more by charging a fee to maintain surplus reserves. However, a policy change is coming because inflation has been above the Bank of Japan's 2% objective for more than a year. The Bank of Japan is anticipated to increase interest rates for the first time since 2007 as early as this week. Watch to find out more!

8 million internally displaced Sudanese since April of last year - World at War
For the last eleven months, the Republic of Sudan—the third-largest country in Africa—has been devastated by conflict. On April 15, hostilities broke out between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, and the Sudanese armed forces. Following the toppling of former strongman Omar Al-Bashir in 2019, the army under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF under Mohamed Hamadan Dagalo shared authority with civilians. Additionally, the army and RSF collaborated to carry out a coup in 2021. However, the planned integration of the paramilitary RSF into the regular army—a politically motivated shift plan approved by the international community—caused a deterioration in ties between the army and the RSF. More than 8 million people have been displaced by the conflict since it started in mid-April. It has also destroyed the capital city of Khartoum, sparked a humanitarian catastrophe, and led to ethnically motivated killings in Darfur. The Sudanese army now claims to have retaken the state broadcaster's Omdurman headquarters on March 12th, marking the biggest victory over rival paramilitary group RSF. Since shortly after hostilities broke out in mid-April, the RSF had possessed the headquarters. Details are brought to you by Mohammed Saleh.
