It is undeniable that in the space of a year, the strategic landscape of the Middle East has changed dramatically to Israel’s advantage in a way that few could have imagined prior to the October 7 Hamas invasion. This many-fronted war is far from over. If Iran has been left exposed and embarrassed, there is the danger that she will take desperate steps like a cornered mother-cat. Hamas and Hezbollah may have been subdued, but the fanatics who make up their rank and file are far from being de-radicalized, and the same is true of like-minded terrorists and their masses of supporters across the Middle East and throughout the world. Radical Islamic terror remains a threat everywhere. "He removes kings and installs kings" What we may learn from the rapid downfall of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad tyranny, is that even when the forces of evil seem strongest and most powerfully entrenched, G-d Almighty, the Lord of Hosts, has the power to orchestrate His "hosts" and "legions", including all the many different and opposing forces on His global chessboard, to bring them down. For, "He changes times and seasons, removes kings and installs kings; He gives the wise their wisdom and knowledge to those who know" (Daniel 2:21). It is incumbent on all Jews, Israelis and all our friends and allies everywhere, to understand that it is ultimately G-d alone who granted success and blessed the efforts of all the courageous soldiers who put their lives on the line in order to defend us in Gaza, Lebanon, in the skies of Syria and Iran, and in other locations across the world. This Chanukah, let us remember G-d’s kindnesses and mercies to us when we gaze upon the lights of the Menorah, when we meditate on His great miracles for the Maccabees during the recital of Al Hanissim in the Amidah prayers and in the Grace after Meals, and when we sing His praises in the daily recital of the full Hallel (Psalms 113-118) on each of the eight days of the festival. A second Trump presidency Another miracle for which giving thanks at this time may well be appropriate is the election of President Donald Trump to a second presidency, which averted what seemed like a serious threat of four more years of radical, woke, Marxist-leaning misgovernment in the United States under a brainless, string-puppet figurehead controlled by ex-president Barack Obama. Many hope that President Trump will take serious action to clean up the corrupt Washington "swamp", boost the US economy, deport millions of illegal aliens who have greatly increased crime, drug abuse and sex-trafficking across the country, and put an end to global wars. However, it remains an open question as to what extent he will be able to deliver on his promises in face of the massive opposition that is likely to arise domestically and internationally as soon as he takes office, including some that may come from quite unexpected directions. The "Abraham Accords" It does seem likely that the incoming Trump administration will show stronger support for further forceful action by Israel against her enemies, while simultaneously promoting the resumption of the "Abraham Accords", suspended under President Joe Biden, which are intended to induce Saudi Arabia and other supposedly "moderate" Moslem states to give full diplomatic recognition to Israel so as to open the way for greater economic cooperation for the mutual benefit of all. It will indeed be entirely miraculous if the Abraham Accords can succeed in quelling the brand of extreme radicalism espoused today by millions of self-avowed Moslems across the globe, who are bent on intimidating and terrorizing people everywhere into submission, threatening death to all who refuse. Will the Saudis, who greatly profit from hosting Islam’s holiest site, succeed in persuading their fellow Moslems that true religion is not about violence and coercion but about persuading humanity to join together in seeking the Truth, submitting to the One God and carrying out His Will? Can the Saudis be brought to officially acknowledge Mount Moriah as the site of the destined Future Temple in Jerusalem as prophesied by the prophets of Israel? If Donald Trump and Elon Musk will categorically declare that the ultimate goal of all Middle East diplomacy is to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, that in itself will be an astounding miracle, comparable to King Cyrus’ giving the green light for the building of the Second Temple (Ezra 1:2). Someone please get the message to them! The Turkey factor The present-day republic of Türkiye extends over vast areas of Anatolia and Western Asia that in Biblical times made up Ashur, the Assyrian empire. Indeed, Turkey’s current leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, shows signs of being no less of a megalomaniac than Sennacherib, king of Ashur, who laid siege to Jerusalem in the time of King Hezekiah until his miraculous defeat. Erdoğan probably prefers we forget the time when a horse he was trying to mount threw him and gave him a mighty kick in the crotch, but it’s preserved on video. In his latest rant last week, Erdoğan said: "Turkey is far greater than its 782,000 square kilometers. Those questioning our presence in Syria, Libya or Somalia fail to grasp our vision." In other words, Turkey reserves the right to burst its way far beyond its current borders in order to resurrect the Ottoman Empire. Do we say good luck with that? Despite getting knackered in the crotch, the unhumbled Erdoğan fails to see any contradiction between his expansionist imperial visions and his unceasing accusations against Israel for the "illegal occupation" of Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. The greatest irony is that biblical prophecy points in the opposite direction to Erdoğan’s vision of "Greater Turkey", because it is precisely "little Israel", which all the nations of the world seek to push back behind the pre-1967 borders if not into the sea, which is ultimately destined to expand and encompass all of present-day Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, stretching "from the river to the river" — from the Nile to the Euphrates — as clearly laid down in Genesis 15:18-21, Numbers chapter 34 and Ezekiel 47:15-20. Under the final settlement, Israel’s Mediterranean border will extend to Hor Hahar, the mountain spur jutting into the sea aside modern-day Antiki (=ancient Antioch), well inside present-day Türkiye! Greater Israel — for what? The question we must clarify is: For what purpose do we seek the Greater Israel? After Israel’s miraculous victory over Egypt, Syria and Jordan in 1967, when she recovered the biblical heartland of Israel, Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights, Gaza and the Sinai desert, all in the space of six days, the Israeli far left simply did not know what to do with the conquered territories and just wanted to "give them back" as quickly as possible in exchange for "peace". Thus after the reconquest of East Jerusalem, Israeli General Moshe Dayan immediately returned the keys of the Temple Mount into the hands of the Moslem Wafk police, since he clearly could not, or did not want to conceive of a Jewish Temple on the site. That would have obliged him to turn around his entire secular lifestyle and philosophy. Likewise, Israel’s far left campaigned unremittingly to "give back" the territories, until they jumped onto the accursed 1993 Oslo-Assla "Peace Process" nightmare that plagues us until today with the slogan: "YeShA (Yehuda-Judah, Shomron-Samaria & ‘Aza-Gaza) First". Immediately after the Six Day War, many believers saw clearly the hand of G-d in Israel’s stunning accomplishments against all the odds. However, the cynical, increasingly decadent Israeli left shared neither their faith nor their vision of the return to the territories as a step towards the restored Greater Israel. On the contrary, the Israeli left with their backers among the western powers, were determined to uproot the Greater Israel vision and made every effort to crush and demoralize the many Israelis who cherished it. Successive Israeli governments bowed repeatedly to pressures from Washington to show "restraint" in face of painful provocations by her enemies. If the same constant kowtowing by Israeli Jews to foreign pressure had existed in the years of the British Mandate (1917-48), Israel would never have attained her independence. It was the spirit of fierce Jewish nationalism that breathed in the souls of the pioneers and the Jewish military bands who fought against the Arab armies in the War of Independence that brought the Independent State of Israel into being. The Israeli Fighting Spirit This spirit of courageous Jewish nationalism shone in every word of Israel Prime Minister Menahem Begin’s famous retort to then-Senator Joe Biden in 1982 when he threatened to withhold US aid to Israel: "Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid." It was heartening to sense a return of this fighting spirit — the spirit of Judah and the Maccabees — in current Israel Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the same Joe Biden, now old and hoary, in the present war, openly defying his demands not to take the Gaza war into Rafah, not to enter Lebanon, etc. etc. In every case, following Biden’s dictates would have been a catastrophic capitulation to Israel’s enemies, while Israel’s successes came precisely from going against them. Let us understand that the new Middle East landscape, replete as it with possible dangers to Israel and ripple-effect repercussions for Jews and our allies all over the world, nevertheless presents us with entirely new opportunities for advancing the prophetic vision of Greater Israel. It may be that the hand of G-d has been relatively concealed within Israel’s military successes against her enemies, yet without His help, all the courage of our fighters and the brilliance of our intelligence officers could not have succeeded. We should be buoyed by the downfall of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad dictatorship, and the likely impending destruction of the Iranian regime. We must have faith that they came about through G-d’s redemptive kindness to Israel, that He is with us, and that He is leading us forward to the realization of the dreams of His servants the prophets. Yes, Israel needs to survive in a global jungle of wild beasts, and we have no option but to defend ourselves with a disciplined army and top-grade armaments. Yes, Israel is the holy land, birthplace of Abrahamic faith, a pluralistic society that gives religious freedom to Jews, Christians, Moslems, Bahai, agnostics, atheists… We do not seek to force people to observe Shabbat, eat kosher, pray… But those who know that the Land is promised to Israel under the terms of G-d’s Covenant — the Holy Torah — must strengthen our own observance and devotion, now more than ever, through the joy of seeing that G-d is truly with us. We must do everything in our power to promote the knowledge of the prophetic vision of a land properly policed, free of terror, murder, robbery, immorality, corruption and injustice, a land that will shine spiritual knowledge and the love of G-d to all the world, with Torah education for all Jews, Torah Academies for the nations, facilities for priests and Levites and their livelihood, and a rebuilt, functioning Temple.

It is little more than fourteen months since Israel was plunged into a multi-fronted war following the Hamas terror invasion from Gaza backed up by attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon and from other Iranian proxies in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Yet today, Hamas and Hezbollah have been largely crippled, Iran looks increasingly like an embarrassed paper tiger, and a new Middle East is taking shape that few could have dared to hope for even a couple of months ago. Gaza At this moment, around a hundred Israeli hostages are still being held in captivity in Gaza, and a deal to secure their release remains elusive. Yet at least the incessant Hamas rocket attacks that made life intolerable for Israel’s southern communities have now ceased, and the present Israeli government is determined to retain security control over Gaza to prevent any repeat build up of the Hamas terror infrastructure. Lebanon The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that went into effect at the end of November is still holding, much to the relief of hundreds of thousands in northern and central Israel, myself and my family included, who previously endured multiple daily rocket, missile and drone attacks with all the accompanying stresses and traumas. The impeccably planned and executed "Beeper Operation" which simultaneously struck thousands of Hezbollah operatives was an astounding success, as was the targeted assassination of their leader in Beirut. Syria Close on its heels came the sudden collapse of the brutal Assad regime in neighboring Syria, which since the inception of the state of Israel had been her unrelenting foe and sponsor of every possible hostile action against her. For decades Israelis had perceived the barbaric Syrian dictatorship as a formidable enemy, armed to the teeth with conventional and unconventional weapons, yet within a matter of days the regime simply imploded as various rebel groups with covert external support took over different parts of the country. This left the Israeli air force with free rein to launch 350 air attacks in 48 hours, destroying around 80% of the Syrian army’s capabilities, including anti-aircraft batteries, airfields and weapons production sites, giving Israel complete air supremacy over Syria and a direct flight path over that country should Israel need to launch an attack against arch-enemy Iran. Iran It was just nine months ago, in early April 2024, that Iran launched their first direct attack on Israel, dispatching about 300 missiles and drones in the space of a few hours, yet they failed to cause any substantial damage. The subsequent Iranian October 1 attack with about 180 ballistic missiles was thankfully equally ineffective. In response, towards the end of October, Israel carried out precise, targeted airstrikes against military and weapons production sites in different regions in Iran, and since then, while their officials periodically remind everyone that the country reserves the right to carry out a devastating retaliation "at a time of their choosing", these threats today sound more like nervous whimpers. The New Middle East Landscape Israeli military successes in Gaza and Lebanon came at a painful price, with over eight hundred soldiers killed and many more seriously injured. For years ahead the country will have to bear the heavy cost of the war, disruption of the economy and school studies, the inestimable traumas suffered and the destruction of lives and entire families. Within Israel today their are sectors, mostly left-leaning, who are opposed to the conduct of the war by the current government and continue to conduct vociferous protests under the banner of "Bring the hostages home!" without specifying how this can be done. Nevertheless, it appears that a large majority of the Israeli population are fully supportive of the war effort.

Sixth baby dies from severe cold in Gaza as Israel raids hospitals Cold weather in Gaza has claimed the life of a baby, the sixth to die in a week, according to medical sources, as Israel continues its relentless attacks on hospitals across the strip. One-month-old Ali al-Batran died on Monday at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, quoting medical sources who attributed his death to plummeting temperatures. The day before, his twin brother, Jumaa al-Batran, perished from the cold in the displaced family’s flimsy tent in Deir el-Balah, also in the centre of the enclave, his father said, describing how Jumaa had been discovered with his head as “cold as ice”. The babies were born one month prematurely. Three of the six Palestinian babies who have died of hypothermia in the past week lived in the coastal “safe zone” of al-Mawasi, close to the southern town of Khan Younis.

By late November, over 80 percent of Gaza’s displacement tents had already been severely affected by the weather and the lack of essential facilities to deal with it. Video footage from 30 December and the past 24 hours has shown many tents, most of which are made from cloth, completely soaked in rainwater, or submerged in areas that have been flooded. “Babies in Gaza are freezing to death due to cold weather and lack of shelter … Blankets, mattresses, and other winter supplies have been stuck in the region for months waiting for approval to get into Gaza,” Commissioner-General of UNRWA Phillipe Lazzarini said last week, referring to Israel’s closure of all border crossings and the continued prevention of essential aid from entering the strip. Meanwhile, warplanes continue to carry out brutal attacks across the strip. Rain and cold temperatures make life miserable for displaced Palestinians in Gaza Rain and cold temperatures make life miserable for displaced Palestinians in Gaza (social media) Gaza hospital director held at notorious Israeli military detention center A prominent Palestinian hospital director who was arrested by Israel in a raid that closed the last major functioning health facility in northern Gaza is being held at a controversial military base that doubles as a detention facility, recently released former detainees have told CNN. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has not been seen publicly since Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan hospital on Friday. Staff members accused Israeli forces of starting a fire in the hospital and said they were all rounded up outside and forced to remove their clothes, a process that took hours, before being forced to leave. Local journalist Mohammad Al-Sharif said he was among those who were detained from the hospital before his release 11 hours later. “We endured extremely difficult moments in inhumane conditions,” he told CNN. “The occupation army made no distinction between medical staff, patients, civilians, or journalists.” The Israeli military said on Saturday it had detained Dr. Abu Safiya because he was “suspected of being a Hamas terrorist operative,” and claimed that the hospital was being used by Hamas as a “command and control center.” The military did not provide any evidence to support the claims. Palestinian prisoners released this weekend from the facility said they saw Abu Safiya at the prison, and another former detainee said he heard Abu Safiya’s name being read out. CNN cannot independently verify their accounts. The Israeli military has not confirmed to CNN whether Abu Safiya is being held at the facility. The Sde Teiman torture camp, where dozens have been killed, has been referred to as Israel’s Guantanamo. RECOMMENDED READING: Inside Sde Teiman, the Base Where Israel Has Detained Thousands of Gazans Ha’aretz Op-Ed: Leave Gaza’s Hospitals Alone Excerpt from the lead editorial in Israeli daily Ha’aretz, December 30, 2024, published in both English and Hebrew: On Sunday, the IDF claimed that it had arrested over 240 terrorists at the hospital and that its director is suspected of being a Hamas operative. To prove this assertion, the army released pictures of two pistols and a knife found in the hospital. This meager haul does the opposite of supporting the IDF’s claims. For two pistols and a knife you don’t evacuate dozens of patients and doctors from a hospital and march them in their underwear, on a cold night, before the cameras in order to humiliate them. It is fair to assume that the deliberate damage to hospitals in Gaza has a different purpose. It appears that as part of the ethnic cleansing of the northern Strip. In the absence of medical facilities, northern Gaza will be emptied faster, as the sick and wounded flee south in an effort to find care [or die]. Such a large area cannot be left without hospitals, especially in wartime. The Fourth Geneva Convention accords special status to hospitals during wartime. The presence of small arms and ammunition in a hospital does not justify attacking it, nor does the presence of enemy fighters who are hospitalized there. Northern Gaza has been destroyed and devastated; the IDF is now mainly engaged in completing its destruction. This is an illegitimate action, and in any case it is prohibited to include hospitals. Israeli forces set fire on Friday to Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, which is the largest hospital in the area and serves over 400,000 citizens.

(WAFA) ‘Systematic elimination of prisoners’: Five Palestinians die in Israeli custody within 24 hours Four Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli custody on 30 December, bringing the number of detainees killed in Tel Aviv’s brutal prison system up to five within the past 24 hours. All five were detained from the Gaza Strip, where Israel continues its genocidal campaign against civilians and medical facilities. A statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) and Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs held the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) responsible for the crimes committed against prisoners, warning of a “growing humanitarian disaster” and accusing Israeli authorities of working to “systematically and publicly liquidate prisoners.” The Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex-Detainees announced last week the deaths of two other Palestinian prisoners. Israeli detention centers and prisons where Palestinian detainees are held are known for their extremely repressive and violent conditions, which include torture, rape, and other human rights violations. The UN warned earlier this year that Palestinians imprisoned across Israeli jails and detention camps have also faced waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and electrocution by Israeli prison authorities since 7 October 2023.

(Israel Defense Forces) UN statement: Israel’s assault on the foundations of int’l law must have consequences Israel must face the consequences of its campaign to undermine the legal framework for the protection of civilians in armed conflicts, a group of independent human rights experts* said today, as the full-scale armed assault on Gaza and forced displacement of its population continues unabated. “As we have repeatedly reminded Israel, international humanitarian law comprises a set of universal and binding rules to protect civilian objects and persons who are not, or are no longer, directly participating in hostilities and limits permissible means and methods of warfare,” the experts said. “Rather than abide by these rules, Israel has openly defied international law time and again, inflicting maximum suffering on civilians in the occupied Palestinian territory and beyond.” Citing Israel’s most egregious violations, the experts highlighted crimes against humanity including murder, torture, sexual violence, and repeated forced displacement amounting to forcible transfer, war crimes encompassing indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian objects, including objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population and educational institutions and cultural heritage, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, the targeting of healthcare workers and health facilities, attacks on humanitarian workers, arbitrary restrictions on access to humanitarian aid, and attacks on journalists, collective punishment and perfidy… “Israel’s continued impunity sends a dangerous message suggesting that parties to other conflicts around the world need not comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law,” they said. “We cannot afford to lose the force of the multilateral system. Israel and its leaders must be held accountable.” Palestinians walk through what is left of Khan Younis, October 13, 2024 Palestinians walk through what is left of Khan Younis, October 13, 2024 (Doaa Albaz/Anadolu) UN special rapporteur calls for global medical boycott of Israel Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine, has urged medical professionals around the world to sever ties with Israel as a direct response to the destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system. “I urge medical professionals worldwide to pursue the severance of all ties with Israel as a concrete way to forcefully denounce Israel’s full destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system in Gaza, a critical tool of its ongoing genocide,” Albanese said on X. Her comments reflect growing international concern about the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hospitals and clinics have been targeted and overwhelmed by relentless violence. MORE NEWS: IMEMC Daily Reports Al Jazeera: Palestinian Authority’s raid on Jenin appeals to Israeli, Western interests Anadolu Agency: OPINION – Palestine and the power of boycott: Lessons from 2024 and the roadmap for 2025 STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – DECEMBER 30, 2024: Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: at least 46,377* – 45,541 in Gaza; in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 836 Palestinians (~172 of them children). Thousands of those killed in Gaza have yet to be identified, and an estimated 11,000 more are still buried under rubble. According to a report in the Lancet, by multiplying the reported deaths by five, it is possible to reach a conservative estimate of total deaths (including indirect causes like starvation and lack of medicine). Using the latest figure from AFP (45,541), it is reasonable to estimate at least 227,705 total deaths in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. According to a recent report by the UN Human Rights Office of identified fatalities in Gaza, about 44% were children. It is reasonable to estimate that 20,038 of known direct deaths and 100,190 of the total deaths are children. Since Israel launched an extermination campaign in northern Gaza in early October, over 4,000 Palestinians have been killed or are missing and another 12,000 wounded. Palestinian injuries from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: at least 114,689 (including at least 108,338 in Gaza and 6,500 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – December 30, 2024: ~1,595 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 417*** (or 391) military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (updated: Dec. 17); 43 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. ADDITIONAL STATISTICS: Since October 7th, 2023: At least 50 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (at least 30 of them from Gaza). At least 43 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced. About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. *The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible. Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***The figure does not include the reportedly 59 Israeli soldiers – nearly 17% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

US-Israeli intelligence activities thwarted in Yemen, while Israel admits being behind Haniyeh's killing and pager terrorist attack Plus highlights of Israeli hypocrisy and news from Syria. Ismaele Note to subscribers: the article exceeds the length limits of the e-mail. To read it in its entirety, just click on the title to open the full online version. Yemen foils US-Israeli led intelligence activities From Al Mayadeen. Yesterday, Wednesday 25th December 2024, Yemen News Agency Saba and Al Mayadeen reported that the Yemeni security services foiled intelligence activities led by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Israeli Intelligence Service (Mossad). A statement issued by the Yemeni security forces said: The enemy's intelligence seeks, through espionage activities, to hinder the Yemeni people's stance in support of Gaza by targeting its military forces and leadership. …and warned that CIA an Mossad collaborators may even face death sentence. It is not the first time that Yemeni security services perform such an operation: in June this year (2024), they uncovered and captured a large US-Israeli espionage cell operated by CIA and Mossad within the US embassy, labelled as “a den of espionage and a tool for sabotage”, as I reported in this article. In my opinion the US embassy in Sanaa should be closed, as the one in Tehran was closed following the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. Over the last few days, the Yemeni security forces arrested several collaborators and spies, whose intelligence missions included “tracking and gathering information on experts, laboratories, platforms, and vehicles used for launching missiles and drones […] as well as monitoring locations and positions of naval forces, camps, and weapons depots belonging to the armed forces”. The recruiter, Hamid Hussein Fayed Mujalli, is still fugitive and wanted… but hopefully he will be found and arrested soon, so that he can face justice. The spies and collaborators even tried “to locate and gather information on the whereabouts of the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi”, thus suggesting that Little Satan (a.k.a. Israel) and Great Satan (a.k.a. the Outlaw US Empire) are planning to launch decapitation strikes against Ansar Allah in Yemen as they did with Hezbollah in Lebanon (first with Fuad Shukr and then with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah) and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar (in Gaza) and Ismail Haniyeh (in Iran), whose targeted assassination - by the way - was finally admitted by Israel Katz, Israeli Minister of “Defense”, a couple of days ago, as reported by IRNA (Islamic Republic News Agency of Iran), which quoted him as saying (emphasis mine): We will strike hard at the H[o]uthis... and decapitate their leadership -- just as we did with Haniyeh, (Yahya) Sinwar, and (Hassan) Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon, we will do so in Hodeida and Sanaa. Anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have his hand cut off, and the long arm of the Israeli military will strike him and hold him accountable. …thus also confirming the Zionist decapitation plan against Ansar Allah in Yemen. Israel publicly admits to assassinating Hamas leader Haniyeh in Tehran Israeli Minister of “Defense” Israel Katz - from IRNA. Speaking of criminal admissions, just a few days ago two recently retired senior Mossad agents were interviewed by CBS and explained how they orchestrated the pager terrorist attack against Hezbollah over several years. Had it been the other way around, e.g. Hezbollah, Iran or Russia perpetrating such a heinous terrorist attack (which incidentally injured and killed not just Hezbollah militants, but also children, teachers, nurses, doctors, etc.) in US and Europe, NATO would have launched a renewed “war on terror” and massive carpet bombing against Lebanon, Iran or Russia, as it has been done in the past against Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya with similar excuses; instead, now Western mainstream media (MSM) is still celebrating this sick operation: utterly disgusting! UNSC to hold emergency meeting on Yemen, Israel United Nations Security Council (UNSC) - from IRNA. Today Al Mayadeen and IRNA have also reported that last Tuesday, 24th December 2024, the Zionist hypocrites summoned Vatican's envoy in Tel Aviv, Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana, for a meeting with Foreign Ministry Director General Eyal Bar-Tal, who protested against Pope Francis’ criticism for the ongoing Israeli bombing of Gaza, targeting mainly innocent civilians and children - by the way, just this morning they killed 5 Palestinian journalists in an airstrike that hit a vehicle clearly marked as “PRESS” (source: The Guardian). Not only that, but, as reported by IRNA, that hypocrite of Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar asked US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, current president of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to convene a UNSC emergency meeting next Monday, 30th December 2024, to discuss the repeated attacks by Ansar Allah against Israel. If they really wanted to stop drone and missile attacks on their territory from Yemen, they could easily achieve this objective simply by ending the aggression on Gaza and lifting the siege, as requested by Ansar Allah in all its statements. However, I doubt they will ever do it, especially after they managed to reach a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, whose leaders were saying that they would stop their attacks against Israel only if the latter halted its military operations in Gaza… yet they are still ongoing and the Zionists are even taking advantage of the ceasefire with Hezbollah to infiltrate Wadi al-Hujayr in southern Lebanon, “a region that has been inaccessible to them during the war due to the Lebanese Resistance”, as per Al Mayadeen. Little Satan is so emboldened that it thinks that it can enforce its will on everyone, thanks also to the support of Great Satan, a.k.a. the Outlaw US Empire, and its vassals within NATO and EU. Ansar Allah fighters march during a rally of support for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and against the US strikes on Yemen outside Sanaa on Monday, January 22, 2024 (AP) From Al Mayadeen. So, in the meantime Yemeni attacks against Israel continue: in fact, as reported by Al Mayadeen and Saba, yesterday the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced that its Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Forces had conducted two drone strikes: one targeting “a vital and sensitive target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Yaffa” and another one targeting “the industrial zone of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Ashkelon”, after interception of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen and targeting central Israel overnight, as reported here. Thanks for reading GeoPolitiQ! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share VOA From Al Maydeen. Meanwhile the tension in Syria remains very high, as I discussed in the second half of my previous original article, focussing on the intolerance of so-called “moderate jihadists” towards Christians. VOA (Voice of America), quoted by Al Mayadeen, has reported the following concerns of a Sunni Muslim resident of Damascus, shared by many others (all emphasis mine): We know that Hayat Tahir al-Sham [HTS] is trying to change, and we welcome that. But there are two things that people in my circle are really concerned about. One is how genuine al-Sharaa is, and the other is how much control he really has over the more radical people in his group. Syrians in general, including the conservative ones, are not inclined to extremism. If al-Jolani keeps his promises and controls his men, then Syrians will support him. But if extremists dominate, Syrians will rise against them just as they rose against Bashar al-Assad. VOA also quoted, an expert on Islamist groups in Syria, Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi, as saying that one of the main tensions is “between the HTS leadership under al-Jolani and the action of individual members who for years were fed propaganda” and that… They may collectively impute guilt to Alawites and others like Christians and engage in attacks and insults. The VOA articles then cites two other analysts who give a more optimistic view, suggesting that HTS and the caretaker government will sideline or even arrest extremist factions, but without providing any concrete sign in support of such a positive opinion. Instead, the situation seems to get worse on the ground, as reported in another Al Mayadeen article, which describes chaos and lack of security in Masyaf, northwest of Hama, where three civilian land registry judges from the Alawite sect were killed two days ago, and in Aleppo, where an undated video was geolocated showing armed men storming the religious shrine of Abu Abdullah al-Hussein al-Khasibi, the founder of the Alawite sect, resulting “in the killing of five attendants, the mutilation of their bodies, the vandalization of the shrine, and its burning”. Regardless of its date, the video went viral online and caused “public discontent among the residents in the area” yesterday, as reported also by IRNA, which mentions thousands of people demonstrating in Latakia, Tartus, Homs and Hama (see also the video below). And this morning Al Mayadeen reported clashes during an attempt by security forces to arrest an officer, who had served under Bashar al-Assad, in Tartus province yesterday, resulting in 17 people killed, 14 of which members of the General Security force and 3 armed men, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which identified the wanted person as Mohammed Kanjo Hassan, “an officer in the former regime forces who held the position of director of the military justice department and field court chief [and] issued death sentences and arbitrary judgements against thousands of prisoners”. Apparently the clashes broke out after “a number of residents refused to allow their houses to be searched”. From The Times of Israel. Finally, a nuclear bombshell (literally!): the Israeli airstrike on the weapons depot in Tartus on 16th December 2024 may have been carried out with a small nuclear bomb, such as an American B61, as speculated by some reports mentioned in India.com, considering spikes in radiation measured by the European Union’s Radioactive Environmental Monitoring in Cyprus and Turkey ~20 hours after the blast, which also caused an earthquake of magnitude 3 that was felt even in Iznik (Turkey), ~820 km away from Tartus. If true, this would be shocking, as it would be the first use of a nuclear bomb in a conflict since Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War 2… but, according to western MSM, we should be afraid of “Russian nuclear sabre-rattling”, not of the Outlaw US Empire, the only country in the world that used nuclear weapons, or Israel, with its hidden nuclear arsenal - by the way, the US National Security Archive recently declassified documents revealing that the Outlaw US Empire “has been aware since the 1960s of ‘Israel's’ ability to produce weapons-grade plutonium at its Dimona nuclear research center”, as per Al Mayadeen. I will conclude this article with the following cartoons from China Daily - excellent food for thought: 'China Daily' cartoon rebukes US for human rights claims “Preaching rights while destroying humans” - from China Daily. World situation casts shadow on Christmas - from China Daily. P.S.: Al Mayadeen and The Guardian have reported this afternoon Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on Sanaa international airport, destroying its control towers, and Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power station, while Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi was delivering a speech. 1 HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. https://geopolitiq.substack.com/p/us-israeli-intelligence-activities?triedRedirect=true

KM spewing massive clouds of disinformation to cover up defeats in Syria, Israel, Europe, South Korea etc. ByBenjamin Fulford December 16, 2024 Never have I seen as much disinformation and censorship in the Western information matrix as was spewed out last week by the Khazarian Mafia. They are trying to cover up a comprehensive defeat around the world. They have lost control of Syria, Israel, Europe, South Korea and many other countries around the world. They are now desperately circling the wagons around a fake Donald Trump at Mar-A-Largo. This group is using big tech companies to produce fake news and censor truth in order to try to create a fake reality. This move is being led by Elon Musk who has summoned Apple CEO Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg Rockefeller, Jeff Bezos plus Google’s Sundar Pichai and Sergey Brin to meet his fake Trump. https://www.infowars.com/posts/ceos-bend-the-knee-at-mar-a-lago This group is desperately trying to grab control of the world’s financial system by pushing US stock and crypto-currency prices to fantastical levels. As a part of this strategy, Elon Musk is using a dollar printing machine to make it look like he is the “richest man in the world.” He is now pretending he is the first person to be worth more than $400 billion. https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/elon-musk-becomes-first-person-to-reach-400-billion-in-net-worth-124121101402_1.html It is all fake. For example, the market capitalization of Tesla motors is $1.37 trillion even though it makes less than 1.7 million cars per year and sales are slumping. That is 62 times bigger than the market capitalization of Suzuki Motors, which makes more than 2 million cars per year and whose sales are increasing. This same group is also pushing Bitcoin and produced a supposed Eric Trump who said, “I am confident that Bitcoin is going to hit $1 million.” Musk has also been outed recently as wanting to use his platform X (with heavily slumping traffic) as a mark of the beast-style social control system. A Pentagon source explains: Many are aware of Elon Musk’s deception but, for those who still somewhat trust this dude, don’t forget that X introduced a new feature that allows paid users to verify their accounts using government-issued IDs through an Israeli-based identity verification company. This was the beginning of what the entire idea behind X actually is all about – a mirrored version of China’s social credit system everything app, WeChat. There is no “our guy” on the world’s stage. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is likely another player in the game. Being aware is being prepared. If you still have trouble believing that the Trump being used by the KM at Mar a Largo is fake, consider this. Time Magazine, run by the Lucis (Lucifer) Trust, made Donald Trump Person of the Year and put a picture of him on its’ cover with what appear to be horns on his head. This same fake Trump is repeating the 30-year-old lie that we need to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities because they are about to “get the bomb.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-said-weighing-options-to-stop-iran-going-nuclear-including-preemptive-strikes/ Iran has had nuclear weapons for several years. They also have hypersonic missiles stockpiled. Despite this fakery, there is a real Commander in Chief Donald Trump and he is negotiating a new financial system with the Asians. As evidence, President Trump’s alleged pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, says the world is on the cusp of a “global economic reordering” and he would “like to be a part of it.” He hints a new international agreement on the level of the famous Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 is being negotiated. Bretton Woods established the world monetary order over 8 decades ago. https://dailyreckoning.com/treasury-pick-sees-a-global-economic-reordering/ Also, in an indication Trump is considering the Asian proposal to bankrupt the US Corporation and replace it with a debt-free Republic of the United States of North America, last week he posted the following: “It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada.” https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/10/congress/trump-calls-trudeau-governor-of-the-great-state-of-canada-in-overnight-posts-00193442 Further evidence things are progressing well on this front came last week when the Asian secret society responded to the Western white hat proposal for a new planetary arrangement. This includes a future planning agency and a new financial system as previously reported in this newsletter. However, in a sign there is a power struggle underway in China as well as the US, the Asian secret society representative came to a meeting with the white hats carrying his own thermos of tea and refused to ingest any food or drink offered. He also had a car full of armed guards. This was not the case during previous meetings. He explained there was a struggle going on with a rival group that is not yet fully resolved. This rival group, by the way, has also contacted the white hats but their offer to meet has not been accepted because they are connected to dark operators in the Asian underworld. In any case, the reply of the society affiliated with Chinese President Xi Jinping was as follows: We have carefully reviewed your proposal. We deeply appreciate your serious consideration of the future of humanity and your enthusiasm for taking concrete actions.

Paradigm shift as Rome, Israel collapse while Ottoman Empire revives ByBenjamin Fulford December 23, 2024 The Western world is going through a paradigm shift as one version of reality shifts to another. Monotheistic people are herded along using a story written by a hidden elite. This story is enforced with violence, bribery, street theater (often involving real murder) and mass propaganda. What is happening is that the story tellers are losing the plot and the days of herding sheeple are coming to an end. This is what we mean about a new version of reality emerging. So let us look at the “reality” that is now in the midst of a train wreck. In this reality, the evil empire Russia is on its last legs, greater Israel is about to be created, China is the “second-largest economy,” and the US-centered “rules-based world order,” remains in charge. The people who believe in this story are like Nazis watching propaganda movies about super weapons that will bring victory to Germany; even as Russian tanks approach Berlin. This story is enforced by the P2 Freemasons now gathering in Mar a Largo, Florida. Recently they have been threatening to murder influencers to prevent them from talking to people who report the actual truth, such as myself. This group has its own President-elect Donald Trump, its own Asian secret society and a shrinking base of slave governments. They also control a dollar printing machine that is now limited to pumping up crypto-currencies and the stock market. The controllers of the “rules based world order,” last week held an emergency meeting at Mar a Largo Florida. This meeting included Leo Zagami of the P2 Freemasons and the leaders of the P3 Freemasons who, until now, had an arrest warrant out for Zagami, according to P3 sources. This group decided to circle the wagons around Elon “Champion of Satan” Musk. This news item shows the Musk strategy: House Democrats Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut say their Republican colleagues in Congress caved to the demands of Elon Musk, sinking a bipartisan government funding bill that would have regulated U.S. investments in China. “His bottom line depends on staying in China’s good graces,” McGovern wrote about Musk. “He wants to build an AI data center there too — which could endanger U.S. security. He’s been bending over backwards to ingratiate himself with Chinese leaders.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/21/house-democrats-say-gop-caved-to-elon-musk-protecting-china-interests.html So there we have it, he is selling US military and technological secrets to China in order to get funding to keep the US Corporate government in business. The Chinese he has been doing business with are part of a fake Asian secret society that is being put down, according to real Asian Secret Society sources. We are hearing the Asian royals are planning a big move. It turns out that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Japanese Imperial family are related to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. They are all part of the Yi-Joseon (李朝鮮)Imperial Family. They are making North Korea fire nuclear-armed missiles to let the world know Japan is under their protection. They are also sending echelons of huge North Korean 170mm artillery guns through Russia towards the West to help liberate Europe. These people make it clear East Asia will once again be independent and have reached an agreement to this end with the US Space Force. In the real world, Commander in Chief Donald Trump, based at the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force base, is working hand in hand with the planetary liberation alliance to free humanity from millennia of Babylonian debt slavery. The alliance is on the verge of overthrowing governments in Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the UK and the United States. This will happen in the New Year as can be seen and will be seen from real-world news reports. For now, the most dramatic real-world news that is not being reported in the West is what is happening with Turkey. I had to use a virtual private network to get around Western censorship and read what the official Turkish News Agency had to say. It is mind-blowing. Here is an example: “For the first time, [Israel] finds itself facing Türkiye directly—or rather, feeling “encircled” by Türkiye.” They are coming to terms with the reality that “Türkiye is present in both Syria and Lebanon.” As they scramble to figure out how to confront this, they cling to PKK/YPG terrorism, further entrenching themselves in a shrinking corner. They know full well that Türkiye’s resurgence as a foundational power would trigger seismic changes across the region. Türkiye’s strategic moves have expanded into Central Asia, East Africa, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Black Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean. In Syria, there is no longer a regime. Under Türkiye’s leadership, a new era of “one nation, one flag, one homeland” has begun. This sets a precedent for all countries in the region under threat of division, including Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, and Somalia. We must adopt a mindset focused on national unity and sovereignty. A New Mental and Physical Map We must discard maps of divided countries, like those promoted during the 2003 Iraq invasion, and replace them with visions of unity. After a century, history is taking a leap forward, and the miracles will continue. https://www.yenisafak.com/en/columns/ibrahim-karagul/is-turkiye-encircling-israel-what-is-the-reason-behind-the-fearing-turkiye-will-the-syria-peace-process-become-the-regions-new-role-model-3696021 In a sign the Islamic Caliphate is re-emerging, Turkish President Recep Erdogan presided over a D-8 Muslim summit in Egypt last year where moves were made to strengthen the organization. This has already led to the approval of a trade pact with Egypt. The D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation is an organization for development cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Türkiye. They have a combined population of more than one billion people. https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/turkish-president-calls-for-global-unity-justice-at-d-8-summit-urges-rebuilding-efforts-in-war-torn-syria-3695966 Since the Turkish news sources obviously have their own biases, we asked our Pentagon sources about what is really happening. They confirm the Khazarian Mafia is suffering catastrophic defeats and not just in the Middle East: “In the latest battle, over 18,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed in one week.

Putin Weighs In on the Syrian Situation Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his Results of the Year annual marathon year-ender interactive televised discussion with the Russian public and the media in Moscow on December 19, spoke at some length on the recent developments in Syria. These were Putin’s first public remarks on the topic and, coming 12 days after armed opposition forces seized Damascus and the exile of former president Bashar al-Assad and his family in Moscow, they signified that the Kremlin is recalibrating its compass of West Asian strategies. Putin disclosed that he will soon have a meeting with Assad, signalling a level of transparency that is very rare in international diplomacy in comparable volatile circumstances. We still do not know, for instance, what happened to Afghan president Ashraf Ghani after the Taliban takeover four years ago, or whether President Joe Biden even showed the courtesy to receive America’s fallen ally — and an erstwhile proxy at that. Putin sees no reason to feel ashamed or petrified over the regime change in Syria. Russia’s mission in Syria was to decimate the US-sponsored extremist groups destabilising that country and the region as part of a regime change project. And that enterprise has been hugely successful as Russia inflicted a crushing defeat to the American project. The Russian mission in Syria never had a hidden agenda to prop up the Syrian regime. As Putin explained, Russian ground forces were never deployed or involved in the fighting in Syria. The speed with which Assad was given asylum in Moscow and the peaceful transfer of power in Damascus hinted that the Kremlin was not taken by surprise. Again, compare the chaotic and desperate US evacuation on August 16, 2021 from Kabul airport with Afghans falling from the sky as American military planes took off. Yet, western propaganda is painting the town red that Russia has been “defeated” in Syria! The narrative by Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan seems entirely plausible when he claimed that at Ankara’s urging, Moscow and Tehran counselled Assad to peacefully transfer power. Fidan disclosed to NTV broadcaster on Dec. 13, “We spoke with the Russians and Iranians and told them that the man they had invested in was no longer someone worth investing in. They made one phone call, and that evening Assad was gone.” Putin openly acknowledged that Russia keeps contacts with the HTS and their conversation will have a bearing on the fate of the bases in Latakia. Russia is offering that the international community may use the bases to handle humanitarian assistance to Syria. Conceivably, Turkey, Russia and Iran synchronised their watches. Tehran disclosed in the weekend that it is reopening the embassy in Damascus and that the HTS has offered to provide security for the mission’s functioning. Through the entire three-and-a-half hour event in Moscow last Thursday, Putin never once voiced any criticism of Turkey’s backing for HTS or questioned the legitimacy of Ankara’s stated concerns in the Syrian situation — although he remains sceptical whether the Kurdish nationality question involving 30-35 million ethnic Kurdish population spread over Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran lends itself to a solution. Putin asserted that Moscow has already conveyed to the HTS as well as the regional states that the Russian bases are “capable of offering assistance… (and) this was met with understanding and a willingness to collaborate.” Putin stressed: “An overwhelming majority of them have expressed interest in retaining our military bases in Syria.” Putin ridiculed the Biden administration’s prognosis that Russia faces “defeat” in Syria. His broad message was that “there will be plenty to discuss” with Trump when they meet, implying that Biden Administration is no longer consequential to Syria’s future. The Biden Administration’s efforts to rally the Arab states have failed to gain traction as the trust deficit is formidable. Arabs suspect that the US’ continued illegal occupation has ulterior motives. Indeed, a new matrix is appearing, as Biden administration’s obsession shifts to creating a quagmire in the Middle East for the incoming Trump administration. In a somersault on Sunday, the US state department’s Assistant Secretary Barbara Leaf landed in Damascus to personally convey the US decision to scrap the $10 million reward for the arrest of HTS leader (Syria’s de facto leader) Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, following what she claimed to be “very productive” meetings with the group’s representatives. This abject surrender will now enable Washington to lift the sanctions against Syria per the infamous Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019. However, Russia has outmanoeuvred the Biden administration in Syria. Putin implied that a working relationship with the new leadership in Damascus is steadily developing. He said, “I do not know, we must reflect on how our relations will evolve with the political forces currently in control (in Damascus) and those that will govern this country in the future –- our interests must align. Should we remain, we must act in the interests of the host nation.” Putin noted: “What will those interests entail? What can we do for them? These questions demand careful consideration on both sides. We are already capable of offering assistance, including utilising our bases… while challenges remain, our position firmly aligns with international law and the sovereignty of all nations, including respect for Syria’s territorial integrity. This extends to supporting the stance of the current authorities governing the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. In this regard, we stand with them.” This is a big statement and it will resonate across the Arab world. Make no mistake, Russia’s transition from the Assad era is well under way. The contours of a pragmatic policy approach are emerging. Russian intelligence would have done the spade work in this transition. Putin remarked tauntingly that “the groups that were fighting against the Assad regime and the government forces back then have undergone internal changes. It is not surprising that many European countries and the United States are trying to develop relations with them now. Would they be doing this if they were terrorist organisations? This means that they have changed, doesn’t it? So, our goal (Russia’s intervention in Syria in 2015) has been achieved, to a certain degree.” From behind the scene, Turkey is tacitly encouraging Russia’s partnership with HTS. Significantly, Putin dwelt on the ramifications of the Kurdish problem where Turkey may need Russia’s cooperation to navigate the tricky pathway going forward. Turkey’s concerns have four main templates: one, ensure Turkey’s border security with Syria; two, create conditions for the return of Syrian refugees from Turkey; three, push Syrian Kurdish forces away from the border regions; and, four, counter the covert European and US-Israeli support for an independent Kurdish state. Putin underscored “the gravity of the Kurdish issue.” There is no conflict of interests here between Turkey and Russia. While Putin spoke with understanding and some sympathy for Turkey’s legitimate concerns, he did not mince words to condemn Israel’s naked land grab in Syria. In his words, “I believe that the main beneficiary of the developments in Syria is Israel… In the Golan Heights, Israel has advanced along the front by 62–63 kilometres and to a depth of 20–25 kilometres. They have occupied fortifications originally built for Syria by the Soviet Union, strong defensive structures comparable to the Maginot Line. “It seems there are already several thousand (Israeli) personnel stationed there. It appears not only that they have no intention of leaving, but they may also be planning to further reinforce their presence.” Putin warned that “further complications down the line” are to be expected, as the Israeli occupation could “ultimately result in the fragmentation of Syria.” In this regard, Russia shares the same perception as Turkey, Iran and the Arab states. Interestingly, Putin exuded confidence that Russia is on the right side of history with a policy reset that aims to harmonise with Turkey and Iran as well as the Arab states. Indeed, this diplomatic feat enhances Russia’s standing in West Asia. Conversely, to retrench or not in Syria — that’s the question that will haunt the Trump presidency. The Pentagon is already pushing back against Trump’s statement “we have nothing to do (in Syria).” Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder has revealed that US troop numbers in Syria have reached 2,000 –- more than double the previously reported nine hundred. These troops remain actively deployed with no plans for withdrawal. * Click the share button below to email/forward this article to your friends and colleagues.

HTS is responsible for serious human rights violations and war crimes. It is considered a terrorist organization by the UN, the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Argentina, Indonesia and Russia. CRIMES COMMITTED Extrajudicial executions, arbitrary arrests and torture Violence against women and girls Forced conversions and discrimination of religious minorities Political oppression Obstruction of humanitarian aid Children forced to participate in the war The Diabolical Figure of Al Jawlani by Antonio Evangelista – former Interpol official All links to previous articles on Gospa News have been added retrospectively for relevance to the topics covered. Translation by Gospa News VERSIONE IN ITALIANO Syria is dead alive Siraq, an acronym that during the reign of the Caliphate indicated the combined territory of Syria and Iraq under ISIS control! Caliph Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, may his soul rest in peace, may he be celebrating but Israel and Turkey seem happier than him… and others. The first has already positioned itself beyond the Golan Heights, a territory already the object of ‘exploration’ and exploitation by Genie Energy Ltd. A holding company operating in the energy sector that has among its most important advisors Dick Cheney since 2009 (US vice president), Rupert Murdoch (US media magnate), James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former US director of the treasury), Jacob Rothschild and others. The Powerful and Shady Rothschild Dynasty. From Late Sir Jacob’s Golan Affairs to Friends of Clintons, Macron & WEF The second is sadly known for the support provided to militants of various jihadist groups, including ISIS, which through its territory had guaranteed a corridor for aspiring cutthroats who joined Daesh, al Nusra, al Qaeda and so on. And which is now probably aiming for a solution to get rid of the Kurds despite their role in the fight against ISIS militants. A year ago I published, with Santelli Editore, my latest book “Mediterraneo, medesimo sangue medesimo fango“ (Mediterraneo Same Blood, Same Mud- excerpts below), in which, about Caliphate, more or less jihadist formations, rebels of various kinds, mercenaries, freed convicts, Western military advisors, I tried to clarify things for the benefit of the reader. A text with the ambition of denying a Western narrative that confuses these cutthroat formations with Islam whose religious leaders had already condemned the various ‘caliphs and caliphates’, disavowing their authority and lineage. “NATO’s LIES ON MEDITERRANEAN WARS FOR GAS”. Exclusive Interview to Former Interpol EU Officer Condemnation renewed also on the occasion of the ISIS-AL QAEDA massacres around the world commissioned by a group of madmen who proclaimed themselves leaders of an ‘Islam’ manipulated for the use and consumption of assassins recruited by refined minds to sow blood and mud wherever necessary. And all to protect strategic energy interests… and among diabolical figures AL JAWLANI (or al Jolani in the West – ed.) was already present and operational, now the religious leader in Syria. Here is the ‘gangsterization of geopolitics’, this is how, for example, the ‘Islamic’ gas pipeline was sabotaged that from Iran, via Iraq and Syria, would have reached the coasts of the Mediterranean, spreading terror, hatred, blood and mud in the Iranian corridor that looks to the Mediterranean passing through Syria. The political propaganda of the terrorist Al Jolani promoted by TG1 of the national TV RAI – click to watch video inside Italian version of article The origins of the ‘outlaws’, as these bloodthirsty madmen were named by the King of Jordan, date back to Al Qaeda in Iraq (2004–2006), later renamed the Islamic State of Iraq (2006–2013), founded by the Jordanian Abu Muṣab al Zarqawi in 2004 to fight the US occupation of Iraq and the Iraqi Shiite government supported by the United States of America after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. In March 2011, protests against the Syrian government began. In August 2011, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi began sending Iraqi and Syrian members of the ISI-Islamic State Iraq with experience in guerrilla warfare to Syria to form an organization within the country. Led by a Syrian named Abu Muḥammad al Jawlani, the group began recruiting fighters and establishing terrorist cells throughout the country, clashing with regular Syrian troops and their Iranian and Hezbollah allies. The Birth of the Al Nusra Front (later HTS) financed by ISIS Excerpt from the book Mediterraneo Same Blood, Same Mud by Antonio Evangelista Islamic State, al Dawla al Islamiyya, indicates a Salafi jihadist organization operating in Syria and Iraq that until 2017 militarily controlled a large territory. Its leader, the caliph Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, had proclaimed its birth in June 2014. The group was based on the Sunni Islamic religion, but already then many Islamic leaders had supported its contrast with religious doctrine. The group traces its origins to Al Qaeda in Iraq (2004–2006), later renamed the Islamic State of Iraq (2006–2013), founded by Jordanian Abu Musab al Zarqawi in 2004 to fight the US occupation of Iraq and the US-backed Iraqi Shiite government after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. AL BAGHDADI: ISIS CALIPH AND MOSSAD-CIA AGENT HIDDEN BY US In March 2011, protests against the Syrian government began. In August 2011, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi began sending Iraqi and Syrian members of ISI-Islamic State Iraq with experience in guerrilla warfare to Syria to form an organization within the country. Led by a Syrian named Abu Muḥammad al Jawlani, the group began recruiting fighters and establishing terrorist cells across the country, clashing with regular Syrian troops and their Iranian and Hezbollah allies. “Al Nusra (Al Qaeda) Terrorists Funded by Qatar”. Scotland Yard Investigates. Syrian Refugees’ and American Reporter’s Lawsuits against Doha’s banks In April 2013, Al Baghdadi had announced that the Nusra Front, funded and supported by the Islamic State of Iraq, was nothing more than an extension of the ISI in Syria, and in October Al Zawahiri, the leader of Al Qaeda, ordered the dissolution of ISIS, assigning the Nusra Front the task of carrying out the jihad in Syria, but Al Baghdadi contested the decision and the group continued to operate in Syria. In February 2014, after eight months of power struggle, Al Qaeda disavowed any relationship with ISIS and deemed the movement’s aims too extreme. Al Jawlani (or Al Jolani) former Cutthroat instigator of Massacres of Italians In April 2013 Al Baghdadi had communicated that the Nusra Front, financed and supported by the Islamic State of Iraq, was nothing more than an extension of the ISI in Syria and in October Al Zawahiri, leader of Al Qaeda, ordered the dissolution of ISIS, giving the Nusra Front the task of carrying out the jihad in Syria, but Al Baghdadi contested the decision and the group continued to operate in Syria. In February 2014, after eight months of power struggle, Al Qaeda denied any relationship with ISIS and deemed the movement’s intentions too extreme. Today al Jawlani is remaking the ‘face’ that will serve to justify the rapprochement of those countries that will need to confuse its citizens once again about the opportunity to re-establish relations with a new ‘devil’ born from the imperial arrogance of the West. So it is useful to remember who al Jawulani is, colonel of ISIS, then head of AL QAEDA in Syria and finally founder of HTS – Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (Commission to liberate Syria) who gathered in Idlib, veterans of the caliphate and of all the ‘confessional’ terrorist criminal formations in disarray after the defeat following the Russian intervention in Syria from 2021 to today. All were trained in Sharia and in the use of weapons, like those children that jihadist propaganda showed in the role of little executioners. The Grim NATO’S JIHADs. How Atlantic Intelligence “14 Eyes” uses ISLAMIC TERRORISTS: from Italy to Libya, Ukraine and Syria Do you remember the children who shot the backs of the ‘prisoners’ in the neck, following orders, directives, wishes of people like al Jawlani? Let us all remember that this ‘gentleman’, with his accomplices near and far, is the instigator/inspirer of the jihadist massacres that, among others, killed several Italians. It starts in Tunis on March 18, 2015, at the Bardo Museum and ends in Strasbourg where the young reporter Antonio Megalizzi dies, on December 15, 2018.

Saddam did not have WMD’s when Bush Jr said he did but he did have WMD’s when Bush Sr covered it up Jonas E. Alexis, Senior EditorDecember 19, 2024 Become a VT Supporting Member Today Please keep VT Radio and VT Foreign Policy alive! Donate today to make sure VT stays on the internet free and clear of Big Tech control! Donate today: Please Donate - Click Here Commentary by Jonas E. Alexis, VT Editor In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini referred to the United States as “the Great Satan” for a reason. He articulated a principle that remains relevant to this day. Khomeini stated: “There is no crime America will not commit in order to maintain its political, economic, cultural, and military domination of those parts of the world where it predominates. It exploits the oppressed people of the world by means of the large-scale propaganda campaigns that are coordinated for it by international Zionism. By means of its hidden and treacherous agents, it sucks the blood of the defenseless people as if it alone, together with its satellites, had the right to live in this world. Iran has tried to sever all its relations with this Great Satan and it is for this reason that it now finds wars imposed upon it.”[1] “International Zionism” aptly describes the situation at the time. The United States and England had already overthrown Iran’s democratically elected president, Mohammad Mossadegh, in 1953,[2] and both countries were expanding aggressively in the Middle East to keep a diabolical empire alive and well. By 1988, during the Iran-Iraq conflict, the United States unsurprisingly sided with Iraq, despite knowing that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction—a fact the U.S. government denied at the time. The denial was a strategic move by the Reagan administration, which sought to ensure an Iraqi victory and pressure Iran into negotiations. Moreover, the Iraq government “relied on U.S. satellite imagery, maps, and other intelligence. These attacks helped to tilt the war in Iraq’s favor and bring Iran to the negotiating table, and they ensured that the Reagan administration’s long-standing policy of securing an Iraqi victory would succeed.”[3] Iran attempted to build a case against Iraq at the time for using chemical weapons but lacked sufficient evidence. Who knew that Iraq had indeed used chemical weapons? The United States of America—commonly referred to as “The Great Satan.” They lied about weapons of mass destruction then, just as they lied about them in 2003, which is the focus of the article you’re about to read by Jim Coleman. The conclusion here is clear: it’s never really about weapons of mass destruction. If any country in the Middle East uses such weapons against a nation that the United States or Israel opposes, it’s deemed acceptable. Conversely, if Israel declares that a Middle Eastern country possesses weapons of mass destruction and calls for an attack—as in the case of Iraq in 2003—the United States obediently follows the directives of the Israeli regime. This behavior exemplifies why the United States continues to be labeled “The Great Satan” by Iran. Israel is certainly part of The Synagogue of Satan which must be challenged militarily. by Jimmy R. Coleman President George W. Bush, or ‘Bush Jr.’ to differentiate him from his daddy George H.W. Bush or ‘Bush Sr.’, used Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) as the major pretext to invade Iraq in 2003. Anyone with breath sufficient to fog a mirror knows the Bush administration, after months of searching, failed to uncover active WMD’s. Today most Homo sapiens, perhaps even a few Neanderthals, accept the notion George W. Bush sold America the Beautiful a ‘Pig in a Poke’, a deal the American Citizenry foolishly accepted without prior examination. We now know the chemical weapons found in Iraq after the 2003 invasion were in the main considered “inert,” meaning they were no longer active due to degradation from age and environmental conditions. Current Affairs stated that a number of abandoned stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, from before 1991, were uncovered but the Bush administration actually worked to conceal the discovery, because these “filthy, rusty, or corroded” weapons were clearly “long-abandoned.” However, as it so happens, Declassified CIA documents and interviews with former intelligence officials, provide us with firm unequivocally evidence that Saddam did in fact possess an active WMD cache. Does this mean then Bush was telling We the People the truth and nothing but the truth? The answer, my friend, as Bob Dylan aptly phrased it, is blowin’ in the wind. The answer depends entirely on which Bush we are talking about, George W. Jr. or George H.W. the Sr. Bush. Suffice it to say, George W. Bush Jr. did sell the American Citizenry green cheese or if you prefer, a lump of coal. David Corn, bureau chief for Mother Jones, perchance said it best when he declared, “Bush and Cheney were not misled by flawed intelligence; they were promoting false information.” Truthfully speaking, Saddam possessed active Weapons of Mass Destruction, not during Bush the Son’s reign but years earlier during President Reagan and ‘Daddy’ Bush’s administration. Reagan and Vice President George H.W. not only knew of Saddam Hussein’s WMD arsenal and their planned use but they were its spearhead, without which said approval and help there would have been no Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction. The declassified CIA documents reveal Saddam’s WMD program was active a decade and a half-earlier than the 2003 “Mission Accomplished” invasion of Iraq occurred, from 1980-1988. According to NTI, The Nuclear Threat Initiative, “Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq pursued every major category of WMD, but dismantled its programs under UN supervision following defeat in the 1991 Gulf War. Nonetheless, unfounded U.S. and Western suspicions that it was reconstituting its WMD programs led to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and regime change.” Saddam and his Ba’athist party was not always our sworn enemy. In fact when America was not trying to kill him and his cohorts toward the end of his rein, ‘My country tis of thee’ was Saddam’s trusted ally, alongside global oil and companies like Halliburton and Bechtel who found Saddam’s friendship most rewarding. While it is true Saddam killed, maimed, tortured and otherwise suppressed for decades the Shia of Iraq who made up 75% of its population, Ronald Reagan’s special representative, Donald Rumsfield declared America and Saddam’s Iraq shared many common interests. Saddam Hussein proved useful to the United States, especially so when in 1980 he launched a war against Iran. The United States, along with the Germans, French and British, never in short supply of the accoutrements and weapons of war, especially when well compensated by the likes of Saddam, provided the chemicals and production equipment to produce sarin and mustard gas the Butcher of Baghdad used against Iran, the same deadly mixture the Germans used in WWI. Twenty-four U.S. firms were involved in exporting materials to Baghdad. In 2014 the New York Times reported that, “In five of six incidents in which troops were wounded by the cleaning up of chemical agents remaining from years earlier, the munitions appeared to have been designed in the United States, manufactured in Europe and filled in chemical agent production lines built in Iraq by Western companies.” We provided Saddam with essential intelligence on Iranian troop positions and weather conditions, along with crop dusting helicopters that gave him the ability to fly over the Iranian troops, spraying them as if they were no more than weeds, killing 100,000 of the unprotected Iranians. In addition to gassing the Iranians, in 39 separate gas attacks, Saddam used these same banned weapons against the Kurds “Anfal” to kill an estimated 5,000 of their own citizens. Iraqi forces from all causes killed 50,000-100,000 Kurds. All told one million lives were lost, three times that number wounded and made homeless, during the eight years of the Iraq-Iran war from 1980-1988, the majority of casualties Iranian. According to retired Army Colonel W. Patrick Lang, senior defense intelligence officer for the United States Defense Intelligence Agency at the time, “the use of gas on the battlefield by the Iraqis was not a matter of deep strategic concern” to Reagan and his aides, because they “were desperate to make sure that US-backed Iraq did not lose. In 1982, one veteran involved with the program shrugged that “it was just another way of killing people—whether with a bullet or phosgene, it didn’t make any difference.” The U.S. added Iraq to the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism on December 29, 1979, but removed it in February 1982 to allow U.S. aid to Iraq while it was fighting Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. The Reagan administration, realized Iraq was “the only thing standing between revolutionary Iran and the Persian Gulf oil fields”. On September 13, 1990, the “ Land of the Brave and Home of the Free” reinstated sanctions against Iraq following its invasion of Kuwait. Given the on and off again fluctuations, it is difficult to ascertain Iraq’s current status, either in good stead with America or as a member of the terrorist nations of the world. From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli Bush the son told the world Saddam had WMD’s, justifying the American invasion of Iraq. It proved to be a bald face lie. The American government also lied to We the People when a decade and a half earlier the Reagan/Bush Sr administration covered up the fact, a euphemism for lied, Saddam’s did indeed have a WMD program, and it helped to create it. As the American radio broadcaster liked to say, “And now you know…the rest of the story”.
