UAE’s Lifeline to Lebanon: 18th Aid Plane Delivers Vital Medical Supplies Amidst Crisis

  The United Arab Emirates has dispatched its 18th aid aircraft carrying 40 tonnes of essential medical supplies to Lebanon as part of the “UAE Stands with Lebanon” campaign. This ongoing initiative, launched in early October, aims to provide critical food, medical, and shelter supplies to the Lebanese population, who continue to face severe hardships due to ongoing conflict. In close collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), UAE humanitarian organizations are playing a pivotal role in delivering life-saving aid to Lebanon’s vulnerable communities. The campaign is a direct response to the directives of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with further guidance from His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, and under the l

What is AUKUS, EastMed Pipeline, and the Franco-Greek Deal and their Geopolitics?

AUKUS- Geopolitics

 

The AUKUS will have a cascading influence on the world, and the EU member states should deal with the deficiency of authority and the shift of America's geostrategic focus of concern to the East to tackle the Chinese dominion and extremism.

 As per the analysts, the arising "Quad" deal between the four nations, such as U.K., India, Australia, and Japan, to counter China decreases NATO's significance in the Indo-Pacific.

 Following Angela Merkel's departure from frontline politics and the discretionary blow of AUKUS, France's first response was to fortify its relations with Greece and expand its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean region. 

 French President Emmanuel Macron has openly reprimanded Turkey's action on the Greek people. After marking the Franco-Greek deal in Élysée Palace, he also mentioned that "it will assist in ensuring the power, freedom, and the regional integrity of both nations." 

 On the other hand, The EastMed pipeline has consistently confronted issues with the gas deposits expected to support it. The Israeli-Egyptian deal to develop a subsea gas pipeline from the Israeli Leviathan gas field (at first planned to be provided through EastMed) to offices in Egypt. 

 Similar ideas to move sizable amounts of gas from the Aphrodite Cypriot gas field (additionally intended to be provided through EastMed) to Egypt raises further questions about the task. 

 Despite the possible weaknesses of the EastMed, it produces a novel chance to survey the new Franco-Greek deal. Using the proposed pipeline might demonstrate a powerful instrument to contain the Mavi Vatan revisionist teachings. 

 Experts see a connection between AUKUS and the US support for France to seek a more motivating role in the Eastern Mediterranean through the Franco-Greek agreement that reinforces the Greek military. For example, Athens recently ordered 18 Rafale fighter planes and prepared to obtain six more later.
