Another Israeli Crime in Lebanon:  AHRC-USA Condemns the Israeli Drone Strike in South Lebanon, Mourns the Victims with the Lebanese Dearborn Community:
Another Israeli Crime in Lebanon:  AHRC-USA Condemns the Israeli Drone Strike in South Lebanon, Mourns the Victims with the Lebanese Dearborn Community:

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins peace- and justice-loving people around the world in unequivocally condemning the latest Israeli drone strike that deliberately targeted a civilian vehicle, a family of five, in Bint Jebail, South Lebanon, this past Sunday. The father and three of his children were killed instantly. The mother and another child remain in critical condition.

This grieving family has deep ties to the Dearborn community. The Charara and Mrouh families will hold funeral services today, Monday, and Tuesday, September 22 and 23, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Bint Jebail Cultural Center in Dearborn.

This massacre is yet another chapter in a long and painful history of Israeli military aggression against Lebanon, especially South Lebanon, conducted with impunity. Despite a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, Israel continues its relentless assaults, violating international law and disregarding global calls for accountability. Such actions are made possible by the unwavering military, financial, political, and diplomatic support of the United States.

This horrific crime comes as world leaders gather for the United Nations General Assembly and amid growing international momentum to recognize Palestinian statehood. Instead of heeding calls for peace, Israel intensifies its aggression across the region, including in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza. Israel spreads death and destruction with impunity.

AHRC-USA calls on the Trump administration to take decisive action to compel Israel to honor its ceasefire commitments and to end its aggression against Lebanon and its people. Silence and inaction only enable further atrocities.

AHRC extends its deepest condolences to the Charara and Mrouh families. We also wish a full and speedy recovery to the injured.

“Israel is committing atrocities and will continue to commit more atrocities until President Trump forces Netanyahu to stop,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “As long as the US does not leash Israel, more innocent people like the Lebanese family targeted by Israel will continue to suffer and die,’ added Hamad.

The H Dubai recently joined hands with the UAE Red Crescent to host a meaningful community activation on September 12th at the Red Crescent’s Dubai headquarters in Al Garhoud. Aligning with the UAE’s announcement of 2025 as the Year of Community under the theme “hand in hand”, the initiative brought together families, children, and volunteers for an afternoon of creativity, joy, and giving back. This community initiative was held in commemoration of the International Day of Charity and Dubai’s Year of Community, bringing joy to children supported by Emirates Red Crescent through a cookie decorating workshop by The H Hotel.

Among its notable initiatives, The H Dubai has successfully hosted an annual Iftar for children on the spectrum in collaboration with Georgetown Early Intervention Centre, creating a space for joy, inclusivity, and connection. The hotel has also championed the arts as a medium for awareness by flying in renowned Nigerian artist Kanye Tagbo Okeke, an exceptional talent on the autism spectrum, to showcase his work during World Autism Awareness Day. Partnering with the UAE Red Crescent reflects further The H Dubai’s values of compassion, responsibility, and meaningful contribution.

The activation at Red Crescent Al Garhoud welcomed over 30 children, alongside Red Crescent representatives and The H Dubai’s team. Children participated in an interactive cookie decoration workshop, creating sweet treats together and enjoying moments of creativity and laughter. To add to the joy, The H Dubai team surprised the young participants with thoughtful gifts, ensuring that each child left with a smile.

Speaking about the collaboration, Yassin Mahmoud, General Manager at The H Dubai, said, “This activation with the UAE Red Crescent perfectly reflects our ethos at The H Dubai of bringing people together through compassion and shared responsibility. As we celebrate the Year of Community 2025, it is our privilege to contribute to initiatives that create joy, inclusivity, and a true sense of belonging for families.”

In line with the national theme of the Year of Community 2025, the event reinforced the importance of unity, inclusion, and compassion. By creating shared experiences between children, families, and volunteers, the initiative exemplified the UAE’s vision of a society built on empathy, togetherness, and collective responsibility.

EBRD finances Infinity Power’s first greenfield wind farm in Egypt
EBRD finances Infinity Power’s first greenfield wind farm in Egypt

• The EBRD delivers a US$ 74.1 million financing package for Infinity Power’s 200 MW wind farm in Ras Ghareb, Egypt.

• Infinity Power’s latest wind project and EBRD’s financing of it will advance delivery of the energy pillar of Egypt’s Nexus on Water, Food and Energy programme.

• Co-financing from the Green Climate Fund, Proparco, and JICA.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) continues to champion Egypt’s renewable energy ambitions with a new funding arrangement for the development and construction of a 200 MW wind farm in the Ras Ghareb region.

The EBRD is providing a comprehensive financing package of US$74.1 million for the 200 MW Ras Ghareb onshore wind farm in Egypt jointly owned by Infinity Power and Masdar.

The package includes an EBRD senior loan of up to US$60.7 million, a concessional loan of up to US$ 3.38 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and an investment grant of up to US$ 10 million.

The EBRD is the principal development partner for Egypt’s flagship Nexus on Water, Food and Energy (NWFE) initiative, and is acting as a lead institution on the Ras Ghareb project, marshalling resources from GCF, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and Proparco to bring the wind farm to fruition.

The construction of the Ras Ghareb wind farm will start in the coming weeks.

On completion it will make a notable contribution towards Egypt’s goal of achieving 10 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2028 under the NWFE programme.

The initiative builds on the EBRD’s steadfast commitment to decarbonisation and the advancement of renewable energy in Egypt.

Once operational, the wind farm is expected to reduce the country’s annual CO2 emissions by 390,000 tonnes.

In addition, the project will enhance skills development and employment prospects by launching a certified internship programme for young engineers in the region, with a particular focus on empowering women to participate in the burgeoning energy sector.

Infinity Power is already an owner and operator of several wind and solar farms in Egypt, as well as across Africa more broadly.

The company has 1.3 GW of wind and solar in operation across Egypt, Senegal and South Africa, and an active pipeline of projects in development across the African continent.

Infinity Power aims to have 10 GW of clean power in operation across Africa by 2030.

Harry Boyd-Carpenter, Managing Director of the EBRD’s Sustainable Infrastructure Group, commented:
“We are thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with our valued clients Infinity and Masdar. This project stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when visionary companies join forces with committed international partners. Our collaboration with JICA and Proparco with the crucial support of the GCF, underlines the power of global cooperation in not only advancing renewable energy but also building a more sustainable and inclusive future for all. Our gratitude extends to the government of Egypt for its ongoing support and instrumental role throughout.”

Mohamed Ismail Mansour, Co-Founder and Chairman, Infinity Power, said:
“We are deeply grateful for the support of our finance partners namely the EBRD, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), JICA, and PROPARCO, which has been instrumental in bringing the Ras Ghareb project to this stage. We also acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company and the Ministry of Finance. Strong partnerships of this kind are vital not only to delivering Egypt’s clean energy ambitions but also to accelerating the wider transition towards a more sustainable future across Africa.”

Nayer Fouad, Co-Founder and CEO, Infinity Power, said:
“Ras Ghareb is a clear demonstration of our commitment to turning plans into reality. Once completed, the wind farm will supply clean power to more than 300,000 homes and cut Egypt’s annual carbon emissions by around 390,000 tonnes. Each project we deliver takes us closer to our goal of 10 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, while also strengthening energy security and driving Africa’s clean energy transition.

A Call to Action: The UN Human Rights Council Commission Concludes Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza:

A Call to Action: The UN Human Rights Council Commission Concludes Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC) joins all peace- and justice-loving people in welcoming the findings of the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem, and Israel. In its newly released 72-page report, the Commission concluded that Israel has committed and continues to commit acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

This report, considered the most authoritative UN assessment to date, stems from an ongoing, independent investigation launched by the Human Rights Council in 2021. The Commission determined that Israel has committed four of the five genocidal acts defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention since initiating its military campaign in Gaza on October 7, 2023. These acts include:

According to the report, over 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, with thousands more missing or trapped under rubble. More than 100,000 have been injured, many with life-altering disabilities, including a high rate of amputations among children and youth.

The Commission documents Israel’s systematic targeting of civilians, residential areas, schools, hospitals, journalists, rescue workers, and healthcare personnel. It also highlights the weaponization of essential resources—such as food, water, and medical aid—as part of a deliberate strategy to destroy Palestinian society.

These findings build upon the UN’s August 2025 declaration of famine in Gaza, based on data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), which revealed extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition, and widespread starvation.

The Commission’s conclusion places a moral and legal imperative on the United Nations and the international community to act swiftly to end the genocide and hold Israeli leadership accountable. Despite mounting evidence, Israel continues to reject the findings, deny responsibility, and operate in defiance of international law.

The genocide must be stopped by all means necessary. AHRC calls for urgent global action to end the genocide and for building a new order founded on peace and justice.

The new hospital, with a planned capacity of 300 beds and multiple specialist departments including emergency, maternity, pediatrics, intensive care, nephrology, surgery, and diagnostic laboratories, will address the growing demand for advanced medical services.

Money20/20 MiddleEast opens in Riyadh with major announcements redefining the fintech sector

Money20/20 MiddleEast officially opened at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center, Malham, marking a historic moment for the global and regional financial technology sector. With more than 450 global and regional fintech brands, and 1,050+ investors from around the globe, the event is the largest and most influential fintech gathering ever held in the Middle East.

The major event is hosted under the patronage of H.E. Mohammed Aljadaan, KSA’s Minister of Finance and Chairman of the Financial Sector Development Program Committee. His Excellency opened proceedings on the main stage highlighting how the event reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to becoming a global fintech hub aligned with Vision 2030. During the opening remarks, H.E. explained why the Saudi capital market is among the fastest-growing globally, with its total value surpassing SAR 2.4 trillion by the end of Q2 2025. Digital payments in the Kingdom have surged from 18% in 2016 to 79% by the end of last year. The number of active fintech companies has also doubled, reaching 280 firms by mid-2025.

H.E. Ayman M. Al-Sayari, Governor of the Saudi Central Bank, underscored the importance of cross-border collaboration in building resilient financial ecosystems. He emphasised that in today’s interconnected world, no financial system can thrive in isolation. The fintech sector, he noted, is driving transformation across the entire financial services landscape, from artificial intelligence to human-centered innovation. Collaboration will be essential for ensuring emerging technologies receive the support needed to scale responsibly and inclusively. H.E. also pointed out that the number of fintech companies in Saudi Arabia has tripled since 2022, with significant growth expected in the coming years.

As part of Saudi Arabia’s evolving national payments ecosystem, SAMA announced the official launch of Google Play enabled by MADA. This marks a significant milestone in expanding digital accessibility and consumer convenience. Alipay+ has been successfully enabled for 2026, reinforcing the Kingdom’s commitment to integrating global payment platforms and enhancing cross-border financial connectivity.

Day one of the event featured some important announcements for the fintech industry. Tamara, a leading fintech company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, widely recognised as the first Saudi fintech unicorn, announced that is has secured a new asset backed facility of up to $2.4 billion USD.

Money 20/20 Middle East highlighted how Saudi Arabia’s capital markets are undergoing a profound transformation, driven by digital innovation and regulatory foresight. The Capital Market Authority (CMA) has embraced artificial intelligence, deploying algorithms that have reduced false positives significantly, marking a leap in data processing efficiency. The asset management industry has surged in assets under management – more than double its size five years ago – with projections suggesting it could reach SAR 2 trillion by 2030. To support this growth, CMA has introduced the Kingdom’s first omnibus system, enabling asset management for smaller clients, and launched the most significant pension reform in Saudi history.

The event also revealed how Saudi Arabia is building an offshore licensing regime and preparing to roll out a flexible funds framework, further enhancing its global competitiveness. The reforms position Saudi capital markets not only as regional leaders but as active players on the global financial stage.

Tarmeez Capital, a Saudi fintech platform licensed by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), announced the launch of its new brand identity. The rebrand reflects the company’s vision to deliver innovative, faster, and high-quality financing solutions for both corporates seeking capital through sukuk issuance and investors looking for sustainable returns.

Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President, Tahaluf, added: “From AI-driven matchmaking to strategic partnerships, Money20/20 Middle East is delivering real business outcomes for our partners and attendees. Our founding partners and sponsors are driving the region’s fintech evolution, and this event is where new ideas, collaborations, and opportunities come to life. We look forward to seeing the impact of these connections across the Middle East and beyond.”

AlRajhi Bank, Riyad Bank, STC Bank, Saudi National Bank, Tamara, Visa and Vision Bank are founding partners of Money20/20 Middle East, demonstrating their commitment to advancing financial innovation across the region.

In addition to its founding partners, Money20/20 Middle East is backed by a strong network of strategic sponsors and partners driving innovation across the financial sector.
