Bahrain resumes normal working hours from June 24, eases traffic restrictions
On Sunday, after the escalation of conflict between Iran and Israel, Bahrain's Civil Service Bureau (CSB) announced the activation of a remote working system for government entities, with up to 70 per cent of employees working from home. This has now been rolled back from June 24.
Traffic movement across Bahrain has now returned to normal. The Ministry of Interior had urged citizens and residents to limit travel and use main roads to "only when necessary" after US bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. The ministry thanked all citizens and residents for their cooperation and understanding of the temporary precautionary measures.
Bahrain activated a remote learning system on June 22 for all public and private educational institutions. This directive applied to kindergartens, schools, and universities, which have been instructed to shift to digital and online platforms for teaching and learning activities.
After the US bombed Iran's three nuclear sites in the wee hours of June 22, the Ministry of Education issued instructions to all public and private educational institutions to move to online learning as a precautionary measure.
The island nation took these precautionary measures, as Bahrain and Iran are separated by approximately 200km of sea.

Six dead in 'arms depot' explosion in Syria's Idlib
A powerful blast rocked Syria's north-western Idlib province on Thursday, killing at least six people and injuring eight, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Syrian state news agency Sana reported "an explosion in the vicinity of the city of Idlib". Though Syrian state media has yet to reveal the cause of the blast, the UK-based observatory reported that it occurred at an ammunition warehouse and headquarters of non-Syrian fighters. At least two of those killed were civilians, including one child, according to the observatory. Syria's civil defence said on X that there were two children among the dead and that the blast caused a fire at the site. The observatory said the blast coincided with flights by drones over the region. On July 24, another large explosion occurred at an ammunition depot near the town of Maarat Misrin in Idlib. At least six people were killed and more than 100 were injured, the civil defence said. Syria TV reported 'war remnants and ammunition' had exploded at the site. Syria is struggling to recover from a nearly 14-year civil war involving numerous armed groups, including fighters from abroad. The war ended with the toppling of former president Bashar Al Assad in December.

Foreign-born women stripped of Kuwaiti citizenship to retain benefits, ministry says
Kuwait's Ministry of Social Affairs said foreign-born women who acquired citizenship through marriage and recently had it revoked will retain access to benefits. The ministry said that the women would be treated 'as Kuwaiti citizens in all benefits and services' if they have 'regularised their status'. This means they must comply with authorities during the citizenship revocation process. 'All social and service-related benefits will continue without any change in line with government directives, to preserve the stability of the women concerned and their families,' it said. The pledge comes amid Kuwait's sweeping year-long review, which has seen almost 50,000 people stripped of their citizenship. The process is led by the Supreme Committee for Kuwaiti Nationality, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al Sabah, and including other senior ministers. A large proportion of those affected, nearly 29,000, are women who had been naturalised under the country's nationality law through marriage to Kuwaiti men. In some cases, revocation came decades after naturalisation. While the loss of citizenship formally removes eligibility for state benefits, the government has granted a temporary period for this group to adjust their status and maintain access to services during the appeal process. With just more than 1.5 million citizens out of about 4.5 million residents, Kuwaitis are a minority in their own country. Citizenship is highly prized. The status grants access to generous state benefits including health care and education, public-sector employment, subsidised housing and utilities, interest-free marriage loans and monthly food rations. The country holds about seven per cent of the world's proven oil reserves, which underpins a per capita income among the highest in the world, making Kuwaiti nationality an economic advantage. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior's General Department of Residency Affairs has announced the arrest of a foreign national accused of residency permit fraud. Investigations revealed the suspect was officially sponsored by one company but acted as a representative for 19 others and managed nine of them under power of attorney, with 150 workers registered. Several other suspects were also detained for paying thousands of dinars to renew or transfer their residency permits illegally. 'They admitted they did not work for the companies involved and knew the transactions were unlawful,' said the ministry.

Lebanon cracks down on 'generator mafia' charging soaring costs during summer heat
Lebanon is to crack down on owners of power generators accused of ripping off consumers during the summer heat. A Cabinet meeting on Wednesday included a discussion about thousands of complaints the government has received about the issue, said Information Minister Paul Morcos. Many Lebanese use private generators because the electricity grid is too unreliable. The government is now giving operators 45 days to comply with new regulations on the sector, including installing meters and charging by the amount of energy used. If operators fail to comply, they could face legal action and have their generators seized, Mr Morcos said. Informally referred to as a "generator mafia", some private operators are known for charging steep flat fees regardless of use that far exceed what someone would expect to pay. It is notoriously difficult to get private generator operators to install meters to calculate energy use fairly if one is not already installed. Lebanon has become dependent on expensive diesel-powered generators since a devastating economic crisis began in 2019 and dealt the fatal blow to its already crumbling electricity sector. State electricity tends to work for four to six hours a day. It means that, if they can afford it, people rely on privately owned generators that use polluting fossil fuels. The smog that hangs over Beirut is seen easily when approaching the Lebanese capital. The reliance on generators has become more acute during a particularly hot summer in Lebanon. This situation worsened in recent days when a technical failure caused state electricity output to briefly grind to a halt, although the problem has since been fixed. Solar power use is slowly growing, but is subject to expensive start-up costs. The state has not built power plants in decades or invested in renewable energy despite several projects being planned, over a lack of agreement on profit sharing.
