Kuwait targets Hezbollah finances with sanctions
Shafaq News – Kuwait On Monday, Kuwait's Foreign Ministry added Lebanon's Hezbollah group, its affiliated charity Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, and three individuals to its sanctions and asset-freeze list. The listing includes Lebanese national A.M.M. (born May 18, 1966), Tunisian national A.F.M.Q. (born October 5, 1991), and Somali national A.M., born between 1950 and 1953. Kuwait's sanctions committee instructed all financial institutions and companies to enforce the designation, citing Articles 21, 22, and 23 of the executive regulations implementing United Nations Security Council resolutions under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Although Al-Qard Al-Hassan presents itself as a social and financial support organization, it is widely considered one of Hezbollah's most significant financial arms. Operating outside Lebanon's formal monetary and credit oversight framework, it has drawn ongoing scrutiny from international sanctions bodies. The sanctions follow reports stating that Lebanese authorities were preparing to shut down all branches of Al-Qard Al-Hassan as part of a broader effort to close currency exchange offices and financial entities allegedly linked to Hezbollah. Lebanese officials later downplayed those reports, denying any closures.

Iraq's Qarah Tabbah district upgrade sparks opposition
Shafaq News – Al-Sulaymaniyah The federal decision to elevate Qarah Tabbah to district status in Iraq's Diyala province has drawn criticism from Kurdish lawmaker Karwan Yarwais, arguing that the move conflicts with constitutional provisions concerning disputed territories. Speaking to Shafaq News, Yarwais confirmed that he submitted a formal memorandum to President Abdul Latif Rashid, warning that the upgrade could impact the demographic balance and administrative contours of Kurdish-majority areas. 'You are constitutionally obligated to safeguard these provisions,' he further urged the president. The lawmaker, who represents Al-Sulaymaniyah, has since launched a campaign to mobilize parliamentary backing. The initiative—supported by 105 lawmakers, including leaders of several blocs—was later submitted by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) to the Presidency, Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Ministry of Planning. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Planning confirmed that Deputy Prime Minister and Planning Minister Mohammed Ali Tamim approved the upgrade of Qarah Tabbah from a subdistrict to a district. The decision also brought the areas of Jabara, Koks, and Kullajo under the new jurisdiction. Qarah Tabbah was assigned the administrative code 2109, with Jabara and Koks designated as 21092 and 21093, respectively.
