So in addition to a looming shortage of fertilizer, promising badly for next harvest, farmers in Australia, one of the world's biggest food exporters, can't get hold of diesel to harvest their current crops.

One would think Netanyahu could supply the sulfur and Trump endless amounts of helium.
Blocking the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a sharp rise in the price of sulfur β a narrowly specialized byproduct of oil and gas refining that is crucial for the production of fertilizers, chemicals, the semiconductor industry, and metals processing.
According to global trade assessments, disruptions in sulfur supply have affected more than 44,000 companies; the biggest impacts were recorded in China and India. The price jump underscores the vulnerability of supply chains tied to the Persian Gulf region, which accounts for roughly 45% of the worldβs sulfur exports. The fertilizer industry is the largest consumer of sulfur β about 60% of global demand.
Indonesia, the largest nickel producer, is heavily dependent on sulfur imported from the Middle East. Chris Lawson of CRU noted that a sulfur shortage will initially hit the fertilizer industry, but sooner or later it will also affect copper and other metallurgical sectors. Mining billionaire Robert Friedland stated that disruptions in sulfur supply will affect copper production in Africa, which is a major importer of sulfur.
The largest chipmakers β TSMC, Samsung and SK Hynix β rely on a range of chemicals that are transported through the Strait of Hormuz. They use sulfuric acid to clean wafers and helium to cool during production. Roughly one-third of helium reserves come from Qatar.

At an emergency closed-door cabinet meeting, Chancellor Friedrich Merz instructed relevant ministries to draft plans for large-scale reception and integration capacities, the source said.
The initiative includes provisions for the German state to finance the evacuation and transportation of Palestinian refugees to Germany.
Under the proposed framework, arriving refugees would receive standard social benefits available to those granted subsidiary protection or refugee status, including BΓΌrgergeld (citizensβ allowance) at the current rate β roughly β¬563 per month
According to the source, preliminary internal assessments envisage distributing the potential 400,000 arrivals among the eastern LΓ€nder.
