Libya Ranks First in Maghreb on World Happiness Index
Washington - Saba:
Libya ranked first among the Maghreb countries, sixth in the Arab world, and 79th globally in the 2025 World Happiness Index, led by Finland as the happiest country in the world.
These results are part of the 13th annual World Happiness Report, issued under the auspices of the United Nations and based on data from the Gallup World Poll, which covered more than 140 countries.
The ranking is based on the average assessments of individuals' lives over the past three years (2022-2024) and takes into account six key variables that contribute to explaining these assessments: per capita gross domestic product, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and perceptions of corruption.
The report shows Libya's relative progress in the happiness index compared to its neighbors in the Maghreb region, despite the challenges it faces, reflecting improvements in some aspects related to quality of life.
A new report by the World Happiness website, published today, Thursday, on the occasion of International Day of Happiness, revealed a list of the world's happiest countries for 2025.
According to the new report, Scandinavian countries are among the top ten. Researchers identified several key factors that contribute to individual happiness, including social support, income, health freedom, and the prevalence of corruption.
The new ranking included 147 countries. Finland maintained its top spot for the eighth consecutive year as the happiest country in the world. Afghanistan came in last, and the United States dropped one place to 24th, its worst ranking ever.

Jihad mourns death of its leader, Raeq Basharat, in Tubas
Tubas - Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has moured the death of its leader, Raeq Abdulrahman Basharat, to the Palestinian people and the Arab and Islamic world. Basharat was assassinated by the Israeli special forces last night in the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas. In a press statement issued Wednesday, the Islamic Jihad Movement said, "The martyred leader played a prominent role during the 1987 Intifada and was subjected to an assassination attempt in 2002, during which his wife was martyred and his hands were amputated." It noted that Basharat had been arrested numerous times, totaling over nine years, and had gone on a hunger strike for 53 days in 2022 to protest his administrative detention before his release. It emphasized that Basharat "never hesitated to fulfill his duty and pursued his responsibilities with unwavering determination and resolve." The movement stressed that the targeting of leaders and mujahideen by the Israeli enemy's gangs will not weaken the resolve of the Palestinian people, nor will it weaken the resistance's will to continue confronting the occupation. Rather, their pure blood, which waters the land of Palestine, will produce generations more resilient and more formidable. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

The report notes that since October 7, 2023, Israel occupation, with American support, has been committing "genocide" in Gaza, ignoring international calls and ICJ orders.
