When the sea becomes the story
Ten years ago, I stood in a crowded hallway in Paris, watching history unfold. The Paris Agreement had just been adopted and the room erupted. There were cheers, tears and applause. I remember the hallway buzzing with the smell of coffee, exhaustion and belief. It felt like a line had been drawn in the sand. The world had finally said yes to something bigger than its borders. Now, we gather again. This time in Nice. And this time, the crisis rises from the deep. The 2025 UN Ocean Conference could not have come at a more urgent moment. Ocean temperatures are at record highs. Over 84 per cent of coral reefs have experienced bleaching-level heat stress since January 2023. Marine biodiversity is vanishing. The ocean is absorbing more carbon and heat than ever before and its ability to protect us is wearing thin. In the halls of Nice, urgency is not just spoken. It is in the way delegates lean forward. France's President Macron has called for a moratorium on deep-sea mining, warning that the world cannot afford to explore blindly. French Polynesia has proposed what could become the largest marine protected area on Earth, spanning five million square kilometres. Eighteen more countries have ratified the High Seas Treaty, bringing the total to 49, just eleven short of entry into force. This treaty matters. It creates tools to protect biodiversity beyond borders, mandates environmental assessments before high seas exploitation and introduces a framework for fair access to marine genetic resources. Even with the current shifting, some regions are still slow to move. The Arab world, with all its coasts and stories, has not yet found its full voice in this treaty. The truth is, some already have. Countries like Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Mauritania, Yemen, Palestine and Jordan have signed the treaty. Signing shows intent. It is a step towards responsibility, a way of saying we are willing to be part of something larger. But signing is only the beginning. For a treaty to hold weight, it must be woven into law. That means review, debate and coordination. It is careful work. So far, only Jordan has completed that step. The treaty remains open for signature until September 2025. Time is still with us, but it is not standing still. Each passing season pulls the shore a little further from where it used to be. And in the Gulf, where the sea has always been more than scenery, that current feels personal. In Oman, the ocean is our inheritance. It carried our merchants, fed our families and shaped our stories. It shaped me. I remember early mornings near the shore, where the air smelled of salt and fish and home. But those mornings have changed. The coral is fading. The fish are fewer. Storms feel closer, like something pressing at the edge of memory. It is not only the elders who notice. The next generation feels it too, not in theory, but in their bones. This summit cannot drift into memory like the ones before it. It must leave something behind. Leadership that hears the science. Action that spans borders. The courage to place the ocean not at the edge of our decisions, but at the centre of them. Paris was a commitment. Nice must be a mirror. For our region, with coastlines that have shaped civilisations and communities still bound to the sea, the question is not whether the tide is rising. It is whether we will rise with it and rise together. Rumaitha al Busaidi The writer is environmental strategist and advocate for sustainable development

This Israeli govt a danger to Jews everywhere
Israelis, diaspora Jewry and friends of Israel everywhere need to understand that the way Israel is fighting the war in the Gaza Strip today is laying the groundwork for a fundamental recasting of how Israel and Jews will be seen the world over. It won't be good. Police cars and private security at synagogues and Jewish institutions will increasingly become the norm; Israel, instead of being seen by Jews as a safe haven from antisemitism, will be seen as a new engine generating it; sane Israelis will line up to immigrate to Australia and America rather than beckon their fellow Jews to come Israel's way. That dystopian future is not here yet, but if you don't see its outlines gathering, you are deluding yourself. Fortunately, more and more retired and reserve duty Israeli air force pilots, as well as retired army and security officers, are seeing this gathering storm and declaring they will not be silent or complicit in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ugly, nihilistic policy in Gaza. They have begun to urge Jews in America and elsewhere to speak up — SOS: Save Our Ship — before the widening moral stain of Israel's military campaign in Gaza becomes irreversible. The Netanyahu government should be telling the Trump administration and Arab mediators that it's ready to withdraw from Gaza in a phased manner and be replaced by an international/Arab/Palestinian Authority peacekeeping force — provided that the Hamas leadership agrees to return all remaining living and dead hostages and leave the strip. If instead, though, Israel goes ahead with Netanyahu's vow to perpetuate this war indefinitely — to try to achieve 'total victory' over every last Hamasnik, along with the far right's fantasy of ridding Gaza of Palestinians and resettling it with Israelis — Jews worldwide better prepare themselves, their children and their grandchildren for a reality they've never known: to be Jewish in a world where the Jewish state is a pariah state — a source of shame, not of pride. Because one day, foreign photographers and reporters will be allowed to go into Gaza unescorted by the Israeli military. And when they do and the full horror of the destruction there becomes clear to all, the backlash against Israel and Jews everywhere could be profound. Do not confuse my warning to Israel for a shred of understanding for what Hamas did on October 7, 2023. What society in the world would not see its heart grow cold by such brutality? But as a Jew who believes in the right of the Jewish people to live in a secure state in their biblical homeland — alongside a secure Palestinian state — I am focused right now on my own tribe. And if my own tribe does not resist this Israeli government's utter indifference to the number of civilians being killed in Gaza today — as well its attempt to tilt Israel into authoritarianism at home by moving to sack its independent attorney general — Jews everywhere will pay dearly. Don't just take that warning from me. Last week two respected former Israeli air foce pilots, Brig Gen Asaf Agmon and Col Uri Arad, published an open letter in Hebrew in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, addressed to their colleagues still serving in the air force. Both men are members of Forum 555 Patriots, an impressive group of around 1,700 Israeli air force pilots, some retired and some still serving as reservists, which originally formed to resist Netanyahu's efforts to undermine Israeli democracy with a judicial coup. They wrote: 'We do not seek to downplay the monstrous nature of the massacre committed by Hamas terrorists on that cursed Saturday. We believe the war was fully justified... 'However, as the war in Gaza dragged on, it became clear that it was losing its strategic and security purposes and instead served primarily the political and personal interests of the government. It thus became an unmistakably immoral war, and increasingly appeared to be a war of revenge... 'The Air Force has become a tool for those, in government and even in the military, who claim that there are no innocent people in Gaza... Recently, a member of the Knesset even boasted that one of the government's achievements is the ability to kill 100 people a day in Gaza without anyone being shocked. 'In response to such statements, we say: As horrific as the October 7 massacre was, it does not justify complete disregard for moral considerations or the disproportionate use of deadly force. We do not want to become like the worst of our enemies. It is time for a similar movement calling out Hamas' vile excesses, led by those who support Palestinian statehood and a peaceful resolution in Gaza. No one should accept Hamas prolonging this war to keep itself in power. Nothing would do more to pressure Hamas to accept a ceasefire than to be denounced across the world, on college campuses and in high-profile demonstrations from those who have been giving this hate-driven organisation a free pass. This is what being pro-Palestinian really sounds like. — The New York Times Thomas L Friedman The writer is a foreign-affairs columnist of The New York Times
