Dear readers,
As the crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate, our columnist and political analyst Lluís Bassets explores how the ties between Donald Trump, Jared Kushner and Benjamin Netanyahu have helped lead to the current situation. And our correspondent in the region talked to people who are desperately trying to flee Lebanon. With hardly any airlines flying and seats at a premium, those with money and a Schengen visa are escaping by yacht to Cyprus.
In the U.S., the debate between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz will probably be remembered mostly for how cordial it was by today's standards, with the two vice-presidential contenders talking about the issues and sometimes even agreeing with one another. In practice, it may not have moved the needle too much either way ahead of the presidential election on Nov. 5.
In Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum was inaugurated as the country's first ever female president. There was a lot of symbolism at the historic event, where the new leader made a point of paying tribute to all the women who came before her and fought for their rights: "I am not alone, we are all here."
This week we also shed light on why Bhutan is a major bitcoin power, and how Daryl Hannah moved past the cliché of “a Valkyrie who behaves like a faun.”
We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
