Iran Conflict Sparks Oil Fears, Election Uncertainty

Regional tensions escalate as Houthi attacks threaten oil shipping lanes, causing a container ship to sink and damage to Saudi Aramco headquarters, driving oil prices higher. In Israel, upcoming elections are shadowed by concerns that renewed military action against Iran, discussed by Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, could lead to delays. Antisemitism issues arise with the UK Green Party defining Zionism as racism and fraudulent threats targeting Jewish schools in the U.S. A new report also highlights a significant decline in Israel's economic productivity due to weak education and brain drain.
