AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUNESCO World Heritage: UNESCO added 25 new sites to its World Heritage List for 2026, including conflict-hit places in the Middle East; in the occupied West Bank, Sebastia was inscribed under emergency procedures and placed on the Danger List, with Palestinian officials warning of growing threats to preservation. Gaza livelihoods & biodiversity: Gaza beekeepers are trying to rebuild after war devastated farmland and cut access to orchards; one beekeeper says only about 700 hives remain from roughly 30,000 before the conflict, and honey output is down to around 10%, as families keep bees “amongst rubble” to protect pollinators. West Bank violence: Portugal condemned the escalation in the West Bank, urging maximum restraint and warning that settler violence and settlement expansion violate international law, as Israeli forces detained Palestinians in Nablus-area villages. Education for Palestine: Malaysia’s UTM and Japan’s JICA signed an agreement to fund a six-year postgraduate engineering and science programme for 15–20 Palestinian students starting October 2026, framing rebuilding as both infrastructure and human capacity. Climate & weather risk: UAE forecasts point to more rain chances and dust storms through early August, with very high temperatures and gusty winds that could reduce visibility.
