    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -Dozens of ministers will gather at the United Nations on Monday for a delayed conference to work toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, but the U.S. and Israel are boycotting the event.

    The 193-member U.N. General Assembly decided in September last year that such a conference would be held in 2025. Hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, the conference was postponed in June after Israel attacked Iran.

    The conference aims to lay…

    Tunisia plastic collectors spread as economic, migration woes deepen

    A towel draped over his head, Hamza Jabbari sets bags of plastic bottles onto a scale. He is among Tunisia’s “barbechas”, informal plastic recyclers whose increasing numbers reflect the country’s economic — and migratory — woes.

    The 40-something-year-old said he starts the day off at dawn, hunching over bins and hunting for plastic before the rubbish trucks and other plastic collectors come.

    “It’s the most accessible work in Tunisia when there are no job offers,” Jabbari said, weighing a…

    UN tackles beleaguered two-state solution for Israel, Palestinians

    France and Saudi Arabia will lead the charge starting Monday to revive the moribund push for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians at a UN conference in New York.

    Days before the July 28-30 conference, to be co-chaired by Riyadh and Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he would formally recognize the State of Palestine in September.

    Paris’s decision “will breathe new life into a conference that seemed destined to irrelevance,” said Richard Gowan, an analyst…

    The New Majority Of Students Spotlights Mental Health And Basic Needs

    Many people think of college students as young adults living on campus and focused on developmental concerns, such as establishing new friends, feeling homesick, and academic pressure. Indeed, many campus support services are designed to fit these perceptions.
