Israel-Jordan relations suffer setback
The Israel-Jordan peace treaty of 1994 suffered a blow this month, when King Abdullah of Jordan announced an end to a lease arrangement made between his father, the late King Hussein, and the late Israeli prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, that permitted Israeli farmers and tourists open access to two small zones of Jordanian sovereign territory. It’s important not to exaggerate the significance of Jordan’s decision, but its symbolic value reveals a lot about the gradual erosion of trust and optimism in the bilateral relationship.

Extensive damage has been reported in areas of Venice after severe flooding hit the Italian city this week. More than 80% of the city, a Unesco world heritage site, was under water when tides hit their highest, leading Mayor Luigi Brugnaro to declare a state of emergency. Images show roads and famous attractions submerged in floodwaters, and authorities have reported two deaths as a result. Just how badly the city has been damaged is not yet clear.

New Data Show “Gender-Affirming” Surgery Doesn’t Really Improve Mental Health. So Why Are the Study’s Authors Saying It Does?
Data from a new study show that the beneficial effect of surgery for transgender people is so small that a clinic may have to perform as many as 49 gender-affirming surgeries before they could expect to prevent one additional person from seeking subsequent mental health treatment. Yet that’s not what the authors say. That the authors corrupted otherwise-excellent data and analyses with a skewed interpretation signals an abandonment of scientific rigor and reason in favor of complicity with activist groups seeking to normalize infertility-inducing and permanently disfiguring surgeries.
