Expert Argues Government Propaganda Hinders War Investigation

Attorney Dori Klagsbald argues that government propaganda is hindering the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th failures. He believes a state commission is the legally appropriate tool for such an investigation, even years later, but opposes personal recommendations. Klagsbald dismisses government claims about public trust and the effectiveness of alternative investigation bodies, stating the government fears findings against them. He advocates for focusing on institutional lessons rather than personal accountability, citing past commission successes in driving institutional change.

El Niño Poised for Record Strength, Threatening Global Food Prices

The current El Niño event is strengthening and is forecast to be one of the most powerful on record, with an 83% probability. Historically, El Niño has caused significant global economic damage through extreme weather, impacting food prices, energy costs, and shipping. Past events, like those in 1997-1998 and 2015-2016, led to widespread droughts, fires, and billions in damages, while the recent Panama Canal drought highlights ongoing trade disruptions. Experts warn of potential global food commodity price increases of up to 9% due to this phenomenon.
