- Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump developed an island resort in Albania that sparked a movement seeking to overthrow the Albanian government, per Mother Jones.
- Albania's Prime Minister faces political risk from the fallout over the Kushner-Ivanka resort, which WIRED reports could bring down his government.
- Anti-Israel rhetoric has grown on the fringes of Albania's protest movement, according to the Jerusalem Post, adding an international dimension to the domestic unrest.
