Nations are trying to reach an agreement to charge commercial vessels a fee for their emissions in what would effectively be the world’s first global carbon tax.

Its Marine Environment Protection Committee meets Monday through Friday in London. The committee, comprised of IMO member states, is working to approve proposed new global regulations to put a price on maritime greenhouse gas emissions and to set a marine fuel standard to phase in cleaner fuels.

Eslaih actively participated in the October 7 massacre, infiltrating southern Israel and sharing graphic footage of the attacks in real time on social media. “This was not a journalist covering conflict,” an IDF spokesperson said.
