Lebanese Feminist Series Smatouha Minni Takes On Regional 'Red Pill' Misogyny

Smatouha Minni, a Lebanese feminist satirical web series created by Amanda Abou Abdallah, parodies misogynist narratives spreading across the Arab world, including 'red pill' ideology influenced by Andrew Tate. The show, filmed in Beirut's Gemmayzeh neighborhood and registered in Germany to avoid local censorship, has averaged 250,000-300,000 views per episode since launching in 2020, with nearly 25% male viewership. Season three addresses blame placed on women for declining marriage rates and social changes, launching April 22, 2026 despite production delays from regional conflict.

Palestina celebra elecciones locales en Gaza por primera vez en 20 años

Palestina celebra este sábado elecciones locales, las primeras en Gaza en 20 años, aunque de forma simbólica: solo unos 70.000 censados en Deir El Balah podrán votar, al ser la localidad menos devastada. La participación rondaba el 15% a media mañana, con objetivo del 50%. Hamás y otras facciones quedan excluidas por un decreto de Mahmud Abbas que exige lealtad a la solución de dos Estados. Casi un millón de personas están llamadas a votar en Cisjordania, pero no en 48 ciudades clave como Ramala o Nablus.
