Marina Satti takes centre stage for Greece at Eurovision 2024 with her dynamic song "Zari," which translates to "thread" in Greek.
The song’s energy bursts through in both the anthemic melody and empowering lyrics. The music video further elevates “Zari” with a stunning backdrop – the iconic Acropolis. This visual tapestry beautifully highlights Greece’s rich cultural heritage, adding another layer to the song’s emotional depth.
Fokas Evangelinos, the artistic director for “Zari,” brings a seasoned touch to the performance. Known for his success in Eurovision, including directing Greece’s winning entry in 2005, Evangelinos has a proven ability to craft unforgettable moments on the competition stage.
With anticipation for Eurovision 2024 growing, Marina Satti’s “Zari” stands out. The song’s ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modern sounds sets the stage for a potentially historic performance. Can “Zari” propel Greece to Eurovision glory?

Gerapetritis at the UN: Greece Puts Maritime Security on the Front Line — Red Sea, Hormuz and Global Shipping
Athens is preparing to assume the Presidency of the UN Security Council for the second time in October, putting maritime security back at the top of its agenda. With the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz emerging as critical pressure points for global trade and energy flows, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis is calling for freedom of navigation, stronger protection for seafarers and strict adherence to international law.
ExxonMobil: Countdown to Greece’s First Offshore Drilling — Ionian Sea Enters the Energy Spotlight
Greece is preparing for its first offshore exploration well since 1986, with drilling targeted for early 2027. ExxonMobil, Energean and HELLENiQ ENERGY are moving from seismic surveys to the decisive “Asopos-1” test in Block 2, where the prospective target has been estimated at around 270 billion cubic metres of gas — although no commercial discovery has yet been confirmed.
Europe Is Still Waiting for Cheap Energy — Why It May Never Return as We Knew It
Prices can fall, renewables are expanding and futures markets often point to further easing. But Europe’s energy system has structurally changed: LNG instead of Russian pipeline gas, massive investment in grids and storage, higher security costs and a permanent geopolitical risk premium. The real question is no longer when gas prices will fall again — but whether Europe can ever return to the low-cost energy model of the previous era.
Netanyahu at the UN: Delegates Walk Out as He Fights Back — The Next Battle Is at the Ballot Box
Dozens of delegates walked out as Benjamin Netanyahu took the UN podium. The Israeli prime minister responded by calling them “moral cowards,” defended Israel’s conduct in Gaza and opened new fronts with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Qatar and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But his speech had another audience far beyond the General Assembly hall: Israeli voters, just weeks before the October 27 election.
Trump and Xi Raise a Glass to a “New Chapter” — But the Real US–China Battle Is Only Beginning
Donald Trump welcomed Xi Jinping with military honors, an eagle sculpture, a state dinner rich in historical symbolism and some of America’s most powerful technology executives at the table. The imagery suggested a reset. The substance was more complicated: the trade truce was extended by only two months, Taiwan remains a red line, China’s dominance in rare earths gives Beijing powerful leverage, and the race for artificial intelligence is moving to the heart of the rivalry between the world’s two largest economies.
Europe Rediscovers Its Rivers: Rhine–Danube Emerges as a Strategic “Blue Highway”
The drought of 2026 pushed the Rhine and Danube to exceptionally low levels and exposed a critical European vulnerability: rivers are not simply waterways, but part of the continent’s logistics, industrial and strategic-resilience architecture. Brussels is already putting new funding behind inland waterways through the Connecting Europe Facility, as Europe begins to rethink the TEN-T network for an era of climate extremes, war and fragile supply chains.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Exit Under Siege: Pipeline Hit, Houthis Tighten Grip on Bab el-Mandeb
Within hours, Riyadh saw its strategic East–West Pipeline to the Red Sea struck by drones and the Houthis seize Perim Island inside the Bab el-Mandeb. With the Strait of Hormuz already under pressure, Saudi Arabia is confronting simultaneous risks to the routes designed to keep its oil flowing — while its emerging security architecture with Turkey and Pakistan faces a real-world test.
Adonis Georgiadis: “Mitsotakis Does Not Fear Turkey” — Israel Alliance and a Greece Germany Now Looks To
Speaking on Action 24, Adonis Georgiadis connected three fronts: Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ message to Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the UN, Greece’s deepening strategic relationship with Israel, and the striking reversal in Europe, where Greece’s reform experience is now being discussed in Germany. His warning on the economy was equally clear: geopolitical disorder is once again feeding directly into oil, energy and the cost of living.
