Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori is embracing the populist and authoritarian legacy of her father, former President Alberto Fujimori, ahead of the June 7 runoff election.

Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori is openly associating herself with the populist and authoritarian legacy of her father, former President Alberto Fujimori, as the country approaches the second round of voting. Ahead of the June 7 runoff election, Fujimori's campaign appears to acknowledge and even leverage her father's controversial 1990-2000 tenure. Reports indicate that supporters in areas such as Villa Maria del Triunfo in Lima express their intention to vote for her, often referencing her father's influence.

Le Monde reports Israel protects Syrian drug traffickers' last bastion

Le Monde reports Israel protects Syrian drug traffickers' last bastion

Le Monde alleges Israel is protecting a drug trafficking stronghold in Syria, linking it to Prime Minister Netanyahu's reported regret over Bashar al-Assad's departure and the 1974 ceasefire agreement concerning the Golan Heights.

Le Monde has published an article asserting that Israel is providing protection to what it describes as the last bastion of drug traffickers in Syria. The French publication suggests that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laments the current situation following the departure of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The report indicates that both Bashar al-Assad and his father, Hafez al-Assad, adhered to the 1974 ceasefire agreement with Israel regarding the Syrian Golan Heights. Le Monde posits that this long-standing agreement enabled Israel to occupy and later annex portions of Syrian territory. The article draws a link between these historical dynamics and the alleged protection of drug trafficking operations.
