The gradual return of normalcy to Lebanon is gaining momentum. Flydubai, Dubai's second largest carrier after Emirates, has announced the resumption of its flights to Beirut on April 18, following a suspension triggered by the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28.
The Dubai-based low-cost carrier becomes the fourth major airline to announce its return to the Lebanese capital, joining Royal Jordanian, Qatar Airways and Iraqi Airways — the latter also set to resume operations on April 18.
The simultaneous return of multiple carriers on the same date sends a clear signal: confidence in Beirut's aviation sector is returning, and the Lebanese capital is once again open for business.
Lebanon’s president will not speak to Israel’s prime minister in the near future, Lebanese officials said on Thursday, dealing a blow to U.S. efforts to expand contacts between the enemy states as Pakistan said peace in Lebanon was vital to ending the Iran war.
A diplomatic breakthrough may be imminent in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump announced late Wednesday that Israeli and Lebanese leaders are set to speak by phone for the first time in 34 years, a potential milestone in a conflict that has kept the two countries in a state of war since Israel's establishment in 1948.
In a deal that could redraw regional trade routes and unlock the full potential of Jordan's vast mineral wealth, Amman and Abu Dhabi have signed a landmark $2.3 billion railway agreement, one of the most significant infrastructure partnerships the Middle East has seen in years.
