The Trump administration is seeking sweeping changes to the rights of asylum seekers that experts say would "decimate" the global refugee system established after World War II, a new report finds. Reuters, citing internal documents from the State Department and an agency spokesperson, finds the administration is proposing a framework in which asylum seekers would be forced to apply for protection in the first country they enter, not a country of their choosing.

The Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee agreed to initiate a timetable for the disarmament of Palestinian factions in Lebanon, aiming to enhance refugees' rights.
