THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE Middle East developments often arrive unheralded. The Cairo-Riyadh estrangement is one such shift. Whispers of a fundamental dispute have burst into public view, fracturing one of the Middle East and North Africa’s most pivotal alliances. This rupture, rooted in a clash of governing philosophies, is accelerating regional fragmentation. The core tension is a philosophical clash between leaders. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 champions economic diversification and meritocratic reform—a direct challenge to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s model of top-down authority and military-dominated economics. This divergence crystallized in practical policy. Saudi Arabia grew frustrated with what it perceives as Egypt’s exploitation of Gulf generosity without meaningful reform. Between 2013 and 2019, Riyadh provided Cairo with approximately $25 billion in financial aid—a lifeline President Sisi admitted…

One of the most important decisions families face is choosing a trusted nursing home for themselves or a loved one. Whether the need is for day-to-day support, medical care or long-term recovery, finding the right facility can make a profound difference in health outcomes and overall quality of life. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there are more than 15,000 Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the United States, serving roughly 1.2 million residents. With so many options available, narrowing the field can feel daunting. To help guide that process, Newsweek and global data intelligence firm Statista are proud to present the America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026 ranking. This year’s list recognizes the top 1,200 nursing homes across the United States. Facilities were evaluated on four pillars…

Captain Luke Donald is doused with Champagne on September 28 as his Team Europe celebrates winning the Ryder Cup. Despite a spirited fightback from Team United States on the final day, Europe clung on to the lead they had built to win 15-13 at Bethpage Black golf course—their fifth win on U.S. soil out of the last 10 tries and their first since 2012. The victory came despite teammate Rory McIlroy facing “unacceptable and abusive behavior” from the crowd.…

WHEN LIZ TRUSS WALKED OUT of 10 Downing Street for the final time on October 25, 2022, ending her 45-day spell as Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, she could have been forgiven for thinking her political career was over. Truss’ reign was defined by two events: the death of Queen Elizabeth II and a tax slashing mini-budget, the latter of which spooked the financial markets and triggered a loss of confidence from her own Conservative Party MPs and the collapse of her administration. But now Truss is back, with a radical new message for a British right which could be on the cusp of one of its biggest overhauls in centuries. Britain, Truss told Newsweek, needs to have its own “MAGA moment,” a reference to the Make America Great Again machine…

AMERICANS ARE HUNGRIER THAN ever for protein, with more than half upping their intake in recent years—raising questions for climate activists over the future of sustainable food. Last year, around 6 in 10 Americans boosted their consumption of the macronutrient, according to an April report from agricultural giant Cargill. This seems to have translated into a rise in meat intake: The research found 75 percent of Americans include animal protein in their evening meals, and 74 percent consider meat an important part of their diet. “The biggest risk right now is that—in this protein craze—people think ‘meat’ when they hear ‘protein,’” Eve Turow-Paul, executive director of Food for Climate League, told Newsweek. Nearly 90 percent of U.S. adults inaccurately believe it’s important to eat animal products to get adequate protein,…

THE SHOCK OF AN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE REVERBERated far beyond the streets of Doha. The attack that claimed six lives—including that of 22-year-old Lance Corporal Badr Saad Mohammed al-Humaidi al-Dosari—was a tragedy that resonated across Qatar. A senior Qatari official has told Newsweek that the nation and its fellow Gulf Cooperation Council partners were planning to convey to President Donald Trump a drastic change in regional views toward Israel as a result of the September 9 strike. Speaking ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City from September 22-30, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari described the Israeli strike that targeted a Hamas office in the Qatari capital as “a moment that changed Qatari society forever.” “For the first time in our history, one of our own was…

In 2022, Elon Musk acquired Twitter, now known as X, stating it was to promote a “digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner.” Upon his purchase, Musk loosened content moderation policies and reinstated many previously banned accounts, including that of President Donald Trump. In this excerpt from his new book, GILDED RAGE: ELON MUSK AND THE RADICALIZATION OF SILICON VALLEY, best-selling author Jacob Silverman dives into Musk’s purchase of the social media platform for $44 billion and the changes that he made. Silverman reveals how the entrepreneur showed signs of right-leaning thinking even before he became Trump’s right-hand man and the face of DOGE. He fits Musk’s role into a greater narrative of Silicon Valley, showing the web of tech moguls…

THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE REVOLUTION IS OFTEN framed as a climate imperative—a way to cut carbon emissions and slow global warming. But the race to electrify automotive fleets is not just about the transportation sector: EVs are the gateway to a new military-industrial era. And China is already winning. While the U.S. dithers over charging stations and trade restrictions, China has built a vertically integrated EV empire—dominating production, supply chains and the underlying technologies that will define the next century. This isn’t just about cars. It’s about batteries that power everything from smartphones to drones to autonomous weapons. It means building the kind of deep R&D pipelines that can be redirected toward military technologies. It means dominance in AI navigation, robotics and smart cities. It’s about who will control the infrastructure…
