World Central Kitchen fires 62 Gaza employees after Israel finds connections to terror groups
Two WCK workers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the termination was for "security reasons."

The World Central Kitchen fired dozens of Palestinians working for the charity in the Gaza Strip, with the termination being for "security reasons," two WCK workers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said. 

According to the two, the firing of the workers was based on an Israeli assessment of them.

In a message to staff, WCK confirmed that it had "made changes" after Israel demanded an investigation into its hiring practices in Gaza.

"This should not be taken as a conclusion by WCK that the individuals are affiliated with any terror organization," it said.

It said it had taken the step "to protect our team and our operations."
A WCK spokesperson confirmed that 62 people had been let go.

WCK employee identified as partaking in October 7 massacre

An Israeli security official told Reuters that Israel had demanded an investigation into staff potentially linked to the October 7 attack after it said a WCK employee identified as Ahed Azmi Qdeih took part in the attack.

The official said an Israeli security review found that 62 WCK employees had "affiliations and direct connections" with terrorist groups.

"Consequently, senior Israeli officials demanded that WCK terminate the employment of those workers," he said.
Is that it? No other consequences?

Turkish delight! sliding sweetly into the vacuum [Thanks to Israel and Ukraine] left by Iran and Russia

Pepperidge Farm Remembers the 1973 War against Israel:

In total, Arab countries added up to 100,000 troops to Egypt and Syria's frontline ranks, and about 20,000 troops stationed in Jordanian territory.[28] Besides Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, several other Arab states were also involved in this war, providing additional weapons and financing. In addition to its forces in Syria, Iraq sent a single Hawker Hunter squadron to Egypt. The squadron quickly gained a reputation amongst Egyptian field commanders for its skill in air support, particularly in anti-armor strikes.[417]

However, nearly all Arab reinforcements came with no logistical plan or support, expecting their hosts to supply them, and in several cases causing logistical problems. On the Syrian front, a lack of coordination between Arab forces led to several instances of friendly fire.[5][2]

Algeria sent a squadron each of MiG-21s and Su-7s to Egypt, which arrived at the front between 9 and 11 October. It also sent an armored brigade of 150 tanks, the advance elements of which began to arrive on 17 October, but reached the front only on 24 October, too late to participate in the fighting. After the war, during the first days of November, Algeria deposited around US$200 million with the Soviet Union to finance arms purchases for Egypt and Syria.[2] Algerian fighter jets, however, did participate in attacks together with Egyptians and Iraqis.[418]
East German Communist Party leader Erich Honecker directed the shipment of 75,000 grenades, 30,000 mines, 62 tanks and 12 fighter jets to Syria.[419]
20 North Korean pilots and 19 non-combat personnel were sent to Egypt.[8] According to Shlomo Aloni, the last aerial engagement on the Egyptian front, which took place on 6 December, saw Israeli F-4s engage North Korean-piloted MiG-21s.[9] The Israelis shot down one MiG, and another was mistakenly shot down by Egyptian air defenses. Egyptian sources said that the North Koreans suffered no losses but claimed no aerial victories in their engagements.[10][11][8]
According to Chengappa, several Pakistan Air Force pilots flew combat missions in Syrian aircraft, and shot down one Israeli fighter.[420][421][422]
Libya, which had forces stationed in Egypt before the outbreak of the war, provided one armored brigade and two squadrons of Mirage V fighters, of which one squadron was to be piloted by the Egyptian Air Force and the other by Libyan pilots. Only Egyptian-manned squadrons participated in the war.[418] The Libyan armored brigade stationed in Egypt never took an active part in the war.[418] Libya also sent financial aid.[423]
Saudi Arabia had a force of 20,000 Saudi soldiers that remained in Jordanian territory since 1967 to provide support and assistance as needed for a total of 10 years.[39][38][40] Additionally, the Saudis sent 3,000 soldiers to Syria, bolstered by a light armored battalion of Panhard AML-90 vehicles.[4] One of the AMLs was later captured by the Israelis near Golan Heights and displayed to the media as proof of Saudi involvement.[1] The Saudi armor was deployed primarily in rearguard actions[1] but also performed active reconnaissance for the Iraqi and Jordanian expeditionary forces between 16 and 19 October.[424] During that time, it participated in two major engagements and the IDF claimed that most of the armoured car battalion was destroyed.[424] The Saudis acknowledged only minor losses, including the loss of 4 AMLs.[1]
Kuwait dispatched 3,000 soldiers to Syria.[4] These arrived with additional Jordanian and Iraqi reinforcements in time for a new Syrian offensive scheduled for 23 October, which was later cancelled.[4] Kuwaiti troops were also sent to Egypt.[425][better source needed][426] Kuwait also provided financial aid.[427]
Morocco sent one infantry brigade to Egypt and one armored regiment to Syria.[417][427] Six Moroccan troops were killed in action on the Syrian front.[6]
Tunisia sent 1,000–2,000 soldiers to Egypt, where they were stationed in the Nile Delta and some of them were stationed to defend Port Said.[5]
Lebanon enabled Palestinian artillery units to operate from its territory and Lebanese radar operators guided Syrian air force aircraft.[428] Lebanon however did not directly take part in the war.[429]
Sudan deployed a 3,500-strong infantry brigade to Egypt. It arrived on 28 October, too late to participate in the war.

Israel’s proactive strike in Syria

The stakes for Israel in ensuring Syria does not become a base for even more menacing Islamist terrorism, could not be greater.

From: ABC News December 12, 2024
The defeat of Assad and the arrival of HTS has cut the supply chain delivering weapons to Hezbollah.

Iran, the ultimate controller of Hezbollah, is one of the big losers of the end of Assad.
Assad was a key element of Iran's crescent of influence — a crescent of Shia supporters that allowed Iran to arm Hezbollah so that it could be the source of attack and destabilization on Israel's border.

That Shia influence has been replaced by a Sunni group.

What's Syria's place in the world now?
HTS poses a dilemma for countries like US, UK where it is designated as a terrorist organization.

From: ABC News December 12, 2024
Why is Israel turning an unlikely bedfellow in Syria, into a new enemy?

As Syrians expressed obvious relief at the end of 54 years of one of the most brutal dictatorships of modern times, their neighbor Israel reacted in a very different way:
1. a campaign of saturation bombing, launching an estimated 480 strikes in 48 hours.
2. At the same time, Israeli soldiers moved into Syria to seize a significant swathe of land,
3. extending what had been a buffer zone between the two countries.

The scale of Israel's bombing raises the question of how, longer-term, Israel sees its place in its neighborhood.
It led to many in the Arab world condemning Israel, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Qatar.

1. Israel had wanted to see the end of the Assad regime.
2. In this sense, they shared an ambition with an unlikely bedfellow — Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)

Not Quite…The toppling of Assad's regime in Syria may be bad news for Israel

The enemy of my enemy is my new enemy

For decades, there's been an axiom in the Middle East that tends to ring true: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Israel has just turned the "enemy axiom" on its head.
Their response to the end of Assad and the arrival of HTS is that the enemy of my enemy is my new enemy.

after the fall of Bashar al-Assad:
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "we are changing the face of the Middle East"
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar: Israel was bombing facilities housing weapons stockpiles, to prevent them from falling into the hands of extremists.

Israel's rationale appears to be that it is using this opportunity to hit weapons supplies or military facilities that may pose a threat to it and has seized land to make Israel safer.

But at any time during the last 50 years, Israel could have struck any target that it deemed as a threat and for many years, the current buffer zone had been large enough to ensure Syrian troops could not mass near its border

Over recent years, when Israel has decided that any activity or facility inside Syria has been a threat, it has been able to take action — there have been occasions when Israeli intelligence detected trucks in Syria carrying weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel has bombed them.

There was no need because
1. Assad was not deemed a direct threat
2. He allowed Iran to arm Hezbollah through Syria but...
3. He "never really waged war against Israel since 1973"

However with HTS Israel is being proactive ensuring Syria does not become a base for another Islamist terrorism

You can't really blame Turkey doing their thing though they helped millions of fugitives from Syria that has a big toll on their own country. The only thing I'm worried about is the situation with the Kurds maybe it's time for a free Kurdistan.

True but so did, many other countries...

Jihadist rebels capture eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor from US-backed, Kurdish-led forceHayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ends brief rule by Syrian Democratic Forces after dramatic fall of Assad regime, as new caretaker government holds first meeting in Damascus

Insurgents who overthrew the Syrian government said Tuesday that they have wrested control of the eastern city of Deir Ezzor after intense battles with a Kurdish-led, US-backed force.

Hassan Abdul-Ghani, a senior commander of the jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which leads the insurgent alliance, said that the rebel forces completely took control of the city.

A member of HTS said in a recorded video that the group would soon conduct a thorough sweep of the city’s neighborhoods to secure the area, adding that the strategic nearby town of Boukamal has also fallen to opposition forces.

Iran supreme leader Ali Khamenei

US and Israel:
Assad downfall was planned by US and Israel, claims Iran’s supreme leader

Khamenei says ‘America and Zionists’ masterminded collapse of Syrian regime that was backed by Tehran

Iran’s supreme leader has claimed the US and Israel acted as the command centre that engineered the downfall of Syria’s former president, Bashar al-Assad, and the ousting of Iran from the country.

Making his first comments since the collapse of a key pillar of Iran’s “axis of resistance”, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a gathering in Tehran: “There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria is the product of a joint American and Zionist plan.

HTS and Iran:
He also claimed Iranian intelligence had sent warnings to the Assad government about a possible attack for three months and predicted Syrian youth would eventually recapture the country, remarks that are unlikely to make it easier for Iran to build strong relations with the new leaders in Damascus.

Turkey:
Yes, a neighbouring government in Syria plays an obvious role in this regard, and is still playing it – everyone sees this – but the main conspirator, mastermind, and command centre are in America and the Zionist regime. We have evidence. This evidence leaves no room for doubt.”

His reference to a neighbouring government seems to be about Turkey, which played a key role in supporting the opposition forces that fanned out from Idlib in a well-planned military operation that was far more successful than they had ever envisaged.

But Khamenei insisted: “Let everyone know that this situation will not remain as it is -- is unacceptable.
1. The fact that some people in Damascus celebrate, dance
2. and violate the homes of others while...
3. the Zionist regime bombs Syria, enters their territory with tanks and artillery

The Syrian youth will undoubtedly stand firm and overcome this situation.”

HTS and Iran:
Iran is already losing privileged access to the new Damascus government due to be dominated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) until at least next March, and was not among the group of Arab states offered a briefing on Tuesday in the capital.

By contrast, Qatar, a country that refused to recognise Assad, is due to reopen its embassy shortly, and is likely to be a key player in trying to persuade the Sunni HTS it needs to be inclusive if it is to thrive and enjoy sanctions relief.

Hamas and HTS:
In a further blow to Iran’s status as defenders of the Palestinian cause, Hamas, the leaders of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, has welcomed the fall of Iran’s ally Assad.

Iran Faces Its Biggest Crisis in Decades After Assad's Fall. Israel Should Be Cautious

Court says ‘all claims dismissed’ after rights groups file lawsuit to stop arms sales, citing genocide convention.

A Dutch court has rejected a bid by 10 pro-Palestinian NGOs to stop the Netherlands from exporting weapons to Israel and trading with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.

The Hague district court stressed on Friday that the state has some leeway in its policies and courts should not rush to step in.

“The interim relief court finds that there is no reason to impose a total ban on the export of military and dual-use goods on the state,” it said in a statement. “All claims are dismissed.”

2. have you ever been a guard/official at a detention center, prison, or transit camp;
3. have you ever participated in the crime of genocide or a war crime;

Ella reportedly abandoned her hopes of joining her family for the celebrations in Australia, instead returning to Israel, where she serves in the IDF’s Intelligence Corps, according to AJN
