NEW DELHI : Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas in response to attacks on its territory may cloud New Delhi’s ambitious plans to build an India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor (IMEEC), Indian exporters and trade experts said.

Hamas attack targeting Israel and the retaliation that followed, but others blamed Israel itself and some celebrated the surprise assault. The early morning Hamas offensive by air, land and sea was met by Israeli air strikes on the blockaded coastal enclave, in the bloodiest escalation since May 2021. «We are at war,» Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, promising that «the enemy will pay an unprecedented price». Here is a roundup of reactions from the region: — Egypt - The foreign ministry appealed to «both the Palestinian and Israeli sides to exercise the utmost restraint», warning of the «dire danger of ongoing escalation». Cairo has historically been a key mediator in conflicts between the two sides. Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry made a series of calls to regional and international leaders, including his Jordanian, UAE, Turkish, German and French counterparts, and to European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. A foreign ministry statement said Shoukry sought to rally «international actors» to «intervene immediately». — Jordan - Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned of the «volatility» of the situation, «particularly in light of what cities and areas of the West Bank are witnessing of Israeli attacks and violations against the Palestinian people». The Hamas assault follows months of surging violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with fatalities in the occupied West Bank reaching a scale not seen in years. Jordan and Egypt were the first two countries in the region to agree peace deals with Israel. — UAE - The United Arab Emirates called for «an immediate ceasefire» and «exercising the utmost restraint,» state news agency WAM reported. «The UAE has expressed its sincere

Luxembourg, renowned as the wealthiest European Union member per capita, finds itself grappling with a dire housing crisis, thrusting it into the spotlight as the nation's 660,000 residents prepare for the upcoming elections. Pascale Zaourou, a dedicated teacher and mother of three, sheds light on the hurdles of securing affordable housing, stating, «On the private market, renting a two-bedroom apartment costs a minimum of 2,000 euros, posing significant challenges for single-income households.» She underscores the acute scarcity of affordable housing, particularly impacting young individuals and single-parent families. Antoine Paccoud, a researcher at the Housing Observatory, substantiates these concerns by revealing that «an increasing number of Luxembourgers are seeking refuge across borders in countries like Germany, Belgium, or France, drawn by more reasonable rent and property prices.» Despite its robust financial services-driven economy, Luxembourg grapples with a stark contrast in housing affordability. The average net earnings for a single worker in Luxembourg in 2022 reached a staggering 47,000 euros, ranking as the highest within the EU. In the capital city, newly constructed apartments command prices of 13,000 euros per square meter, while older units fetch approximately 10,700 euros.

Pamela Anderson is done with makeup.For the last few months, the Ladysmith, B.C.-born Anderson — who for much of her career was best-known as a Hollywood bombshell and Playboy model — has ditched her makeup almost entirely, opting instead for a relaxed, fresh-faced look with her freckles on full display.Even at the most high-profile events, like last week’s Vivienne Westwood Paris Fashion Week show, Anderson has done away with social norms and embraced her natural beauty.The former Baywatch star wore only a light coat of mascara and vintage designer clothing from her own closet to the Paris event.In an interview with Vogue France before the Vivienne Westwood show, Anderson, 56, said the choice not to wear a full face of makeup came subconsciously.“I was dressing in these beautiful clothes, and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes.’ I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room,” she explained in the interview released Tuesday. “I feel like it’s freedom.
