AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Lebanon-Israel Front: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says he will do the “impossible” to stop the war, insisting Lebanon’s negotiation framework is Israeli withdrawal, a ceasefire, Lebanese army deployment, return of displaced people, and economic aid—while Israel carries out strikes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah reports new attacks, even as a US-backed truce is extended for 45 days. US-Iran Talks: Iran has sent another amended proposal to the US via Pakistan, but Washington and Tehran remain far apart; Trump again warned the “clock is ticking,” as markets react to rising re-escalation risk. Regional Human Impact: More than 120,000 Syrian refugees have returned from Lebanon to Syria in the first four months of 2026, though returns are tied to fragile ceasefires and economic pressure at border crossings. Business & Security Signals: The week also brought a major defense push in Indonesia (Rafale deliveries) and fresh drug enforcement headlines in the US, underscoring how conflict and security concerns keep spilling into everyday economies.
