Syria and Saudi Arabia signed a major investment package on Saturday, while other global events included a storm battering Spain and Portugal, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi raising the stakes in an election, Cristiano Ronaldo missing another Al Nassr game, and Trump and Netanyahu planning to meet to discuss Iran. The investment deals between Syria and Saudi Arabia span aviation, energy, real estate, and telecommunications, as the Syrian government seeks to rebuild after a 14-year civil war, according to Al Jazeera.
The signing ceremony in Damascus included the development of a new international airport in Aleppo, the launch of a low-cost Syrian-Saudi airline, and a telecommunications project called SilkLink. Meanwhile, thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes due to a "storm train" of consecutive winds and rains battering Spain and Portugal, as reported by Sky News. A man in Portugal died after his car was swept away, and a second body was found in Malaga.
In Japan, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held a rally before a snap election, with Sky News noting the significance of the event. Cristiano Ronaldo missed his second straight game for Al Nassr due to an ongoing strike, as he reportedly feels the club is not financially backing the team as much as their rivals, Al Hilal, according to Sky News.
Additionally, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are scheduled to meet in Washington on Wednesday to discuss negotiations with Iran, as stated by Netanyahu's office, also according to Sky News. This meeting follows indirect nuclear talks between Iranian and US officials in Muscat, Oman, on Friday.
