Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's telecom sector marks a milestone with the launch of its first live Cloud Radio Access Network site, enhancing 5G capabilities and supporting the Kingdom's digital transformation initiatives.
Hermès International is appointing BNP Paribas CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé and former French spy chief Bernard Emié to its board, replacing Dominique Senequier and Alexandre Viros, respectively.

Oil prices surged last week, marking their strongest weekly gain since January, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. The risk premium from potential conflicts, including the fragile ceasefires involving Israel, has contributed to this rise. However, anticipated increases in OPEC+ oil supply may limit further price gains.
Mike Huckabee, nominated by President Trump as ambassador to Israel, faces a Senate confirmation hearing amid renewed conflict in Gaza. Known for his strong pro-Israel stance, Huckabee opposes a two-state solution and has previously supported annexation of the West Bank. His confirmation could further complicate U.S. policy in the Middle East, especially as Israeli military actions escalate.
A directed energy laser system has been approved for export to Ukraine to aid in demining efforts, as over 40% of the country is mine-affected.

With a strong portfolio in cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, the firm aims to align with new defense priorities and capitalize on emerging markets.
