A shorter post today as itโ€™s the weekend and I have thing to do, as I am sure you do too. Iran is busy with the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei. The USA is busy with Independence Day/ weekend celebrations. Israel is busy firing on southern Lebanon. Israeli forces have continued to attacks both Lebanon and Gaza, killing at least one person in southern Lebanon and two Palestinians in Gaza City and Jabalia refugee camp.

Question: I started my job in March but want to leave. I have a probation period of six months. Do I need to give notice in my probation period? Is there a penalty to pay? What about visa costs? Will I get a ban, as I will want to come back after the summer? AA, Dubai Answer: AA is required to give his employer written notice of his resignation. This applies at all times, even if someone is on probation.

His body has been kept in cold storage as chemical embalming is prohibited under Islamic law.
