Syria Could Become a Turkish ProtectorateHaaretz by Zvi Bar'el 15 December 2024 Extracts: - Syria Could Become a Turkish Protectorate, Limiting Israel's Freedom of Action
With a strategic interest in turning Syria into an anti-Kurdish bulwark, Turkey is seeking to take the place of Russia and Iran – including control of Syria's airspace One day after Israel took control of "Syrian Mount Hermon" and areas around Quneitra, Syria's new government under Abu Mohammed al-Golani swiftly dispatched two letters to the United Nations Security Council and secretary-general, demanding, 1. Israel withdraw its forces from Syrian territory 2. and cease its attacks

Long war - Bitter lessonsHaaretz by David Rosenberg 19 December 2024 Extracts: - The Bitter Lesson Israel Can Learn From Russia About Fighting Long Wars
Prolonged fighting is straining the Russian economy Israel faces the same problem if Netanyahu insists on keeping it on a war footing Economically speaking (and for that matter, virtually everything-else speaking) Israel and Russia couldn't be more different Israel was asleep at the wheel... - Terrorists unleashed surprise terror of savagery and sadism, on Israel 07 October 2023
- This “belligerent warring” been going on far too long.... Israeli soldiers far too high a toll
- Israel has not seen this scale of military activity in terms of duration, intensity and cost in recent times
- Israel is burning and bleeding, on all fronts including its economy
Hamas must have known what would happen – that Israel would react with force and that many Gazan people would suffer as a result Then again, 1. “We make the headlines only with blood” 2. “No blood, no news” 3. willingness to sacrifice Palestinian civilian lives for their own advantage 4. calling their own people's deaths “necessary sacrifice” Palestinian civilian death toll and horrific humanitarian situation in the Gaza strip - common denominator: Russia
The two wars currently dominating the agenda: Ukraine war and Israel-Middle East war -- have / had one common denominator: Russia

- common denominator: Russia
The two wars currently dominating the agenda: Ukraine war and Israel-Middle East war -- have / had one common denominator: Russia All Israel News December 20, 2024 What is he on Russian President Putin expresses concern over Israeli military presence in Syria: "Russia condemns the seizure of any Syrian territories. This is obvious," Putin said "I have the impression that not only are they not going to leave, but they are going to reinforce there," Putin claimed, adding that Israel has reached Soviet-built fortifications located some 25 km (16 miles) inside Syria. "We all understand this. There will be many problems. But we are on the side of international law and for the sovereignty of all countries, while respecting their territorial integrity, meaning Syria," Putin stated No wonder Zelensky call him dumbass

whatever he is on, double Turning to Russia’s tense relations with the United States due to the war in Ukraine, Putin said Russia is ready to embrace compromises and hopes that relations will improve under President-elect Donald Trump. "We have always said that we are ready for negotiations and compromises," Putin stated "Soon, those Ukrainians who want to fight will run out, in my opinion, soon there will be no one left who wants to fight. We are ready, but the other side needs to be ready for both negotiations and compromises," he added. While initially rivals in Syria, Russia and Iran have formed a close military alliance since the Ukraine war began in 2022 amid international boycotts against both countries. The Iranian regime has provided Russia with drones that have been used against Ukraine. In return, Moscow has provided Tehran with advanced military equipment, including Russia's aerial defense systems.

From: The Times of Israel December 22, 2024 Yemen airstrikes reportedly carried out by US-led coalition
CENTCOM confirms strikes on Houthi missile storage facility and command center in Sana’a
US Central Command confirms having conducted airstrikes in Sana’a, Yemen earlier this evening, saying it targeted a missile storage facility and a command-and-control site operated by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
CENTCOM says the attack will degrade Houthi capabilities to conduct attacks such as ones that have targeted US warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden.
It makes no mention of last night’s Houthi missile attack in Tel Aviv.
During the operation, CENTCOM forces also shot down multiple Houthi drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea, CENTCOM says.
“The strike reflects CENTCOM’s ongoing commitment to protect U.S. and coalition personnel, regional partners and international shipping,” the statement adds.
Yemen’s Al-Masirah outlet, linked to the Iran-backed Houthis, says the blasts in Sana’a a short while ago were the result of airstrikes.
The strikes were carried out by the US-led coalition, and not Israel, Israeli sources say.

A strange case the Christmas attack the Saudi of Shia origins once threatenend Angela Merkel. Considering him being Shia there may be a link to Iranian or other intelligence services.
The man who drove into a Christmas market in Magdeburg on Friday evening displayed "atypical" behavior that "did not fit into a pattern," Holger Münch, the head of the German Federal Police, told public television broadcaster ZDF late Saturday evening
Münch also confirms that a tip came from Saudi Arabia about the suspect in 2023, after which a case was opened and the police conducted “an appropriate investigation.”
Perpetrator was not known for violent acts The police knew the man. "He had several contacts with authorities, made insults and occasionally threats, but was not known for his violent acts," Münch told ZDF.
The police chief said that everything now needs to be put back on the table, and that the security authorities need to check that they have not let anything slip through their fingers. "But again, we have a completely atypical pattern here," Münch said.

He also showed support for Germany’s far-right anti-immigration AfD party, the report said. He is migrant too Yep like the police chief said "atypical" behavior. A Shia rooting for AfD and attacking a Christmas market hurting and killing so many German people. It's a terror attack but very strange although not suprising in today's Geopolitics and tensions.
