LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 22: People protest the involvement of the U.S. in Israel's war against Iran near the Wilshire Federal Building on June 22, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. The Trump administration has bombed Iran with the largest B-2 bomber strike in U.S. history without obtaining Congressional approval. The anti-war protest comes as daily protests reacting to a series of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids escalated after President Trump authorized military forces to protect federal property against the wishes of city and state officials.

BEIRUT, LEBANON - SEPTEMBER 26: A former domestic worker hangs her laundry to dry on September 26, 2020 in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanon accounts some 250,000 migrant women from African and Asian countries and working in private households. Migrant domestic workers in Lebanon are subjected to the kafala system, a private migration sponsorship system in Gulf countries which exponentially increases the risk of labour exploitation, forced labour and trafficking. Lebanon's economic crisis as well the August 4 blast has left a significant number of migrant workers in a humanitarian crisis. (Photo by Aline Deschamps/Getty Images)

Bulldozers demolish buildings on March 14, 2022, as part of a $20 billion clearance and construction government project that stands to displace half-a-million people in Saudi Arabia's second city Jeddah. - The demolitions risk fuelling anti-government sentiment in the 30-plus neighbourhoods that have been targeted, many of which housed a mix of Saudis and foreigners from other Arab countries and Asia. Evicted residents had been living in the homes for up to 60 years, said ALan NGO. Some were driven out when their power and water was cut off, or threatened with jail for disobeying an eviction order, it added. (Photo by AFP) (Photo by -/AFP via Getty Images)

MADRID, SPAIN - JUNE 28: U.S. President Joe Biden descends the stairs of his Air Force One aircraft upon his arrival at Torrejon de Ardoz air base, June 28, 2022, in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain. Biden has arrived in Spain in his Air Force One aircraft, shielded even against a nuclear explosion and capable of refueling from the air. When Biden lands, he will board 'The Beast', his presidential limousine and the safest car in the world, with 20-centimeter thick armor, equipped with firearms and blood transfusion bags. The limousine is accompanied by a caravan of 50 vehicles. The National Police and the Civil Guard will escort the motorcades at all times for the NATO summit, which officially begins tomorrow in Madrid, the 40th anniversary of Spain's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Biden's objective at the NATO summit is to reaffirm ''the strong bilateral relationship'' between the two countries. (Photo By EUROPA PRESS/A.Ortega.POOL via Getty Images)
