Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.

Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.

This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.

Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.

Hezbollah rejects renewed ceasefire agreed by Israel and Lebanon | BBC News

Published

on



The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

In a strongly-worded statement, the Iran-backed group’s leader Naim Qassem said negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese people”.

It comes after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile ceasefire with the creation of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned.

In a joint statement released on Wednesday by the US State Department, the three countries said the deal was “contingent on a complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah.
