A record number of Israelis left the country in 2024 amid the ongoing war on multiple fronts that shattered #Israel’s standing as a safe haven for Jews. Many of those fleeing are heading to the US and Europe. #ReverseMigration#Gaza#IsraelWars
Circulated videos from #Syria show U.S. military trucks delivering cement blocks to Ain al-Arab amid clashes between the #Syrian National Army and Syrian Democratic Forces.
Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned energy giant, announced on Wednesday the suspension of natural gas exports through Ukraine to Europe, effective 8:00 a.m. Moscow time (5:00 a.m. GMT). The halt follows the expiration of a five-year transit agreement between Gazprom and Ukraine’s Naftogaz.
Ukraine’s Energy Minister, Herman Halushchenko, confirmed the stoppage, calling it “a historic event.” The transfer ended at 7:00 a.m. local time, with Ukrainian authorities citing national security concerns as a key factor in the decision.
This marks a pivotal moment in European energy dynamics, disrupting a major supply route as geopolitical tensions between Moscow and Kyiv remain high. The halt raises new questions about energy security across the continent.
Israeli forces have taken control of the Mantara Reservoir, southern Syria's largest dam, in the newly occupied buffer zone near Quneitra in the Golan Heights. Military vehicles have been documented in the area, marking another significant step in Israel’s expansion within Syria.
The seizure follows a violent Israeli airstrike on January 2 near Damascus, targeting the Tal al-Shahem military site. Syrian media reported powerful explosions in the western countryside of the capital, underscoring the intensifying conflict. Israel now controls six strategic water bodies in southern Syria, including the Al-Mantara Dam.
This development is part of a broader campaign that has seen Israel secure key water sources in Syria and Jordan. Reports indicate Israel controls 30% of Syria's and 40% of Jordan's water supply.
An international report revealed that the United States has supplied Israel with $22 billion worth of military aid since October 7, 2023. This includes 50,000 tons of weapons, ranging from precision bombs to attack helicopters, fueling the Israeli military's operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. This aid, provided through August 2024, underscores the significant role the U.S. continues to play in the ongoing conflict. #GazaGenocide#UnitedStates#Israel#Syria#Lebanon
During a visit to the town of Nevitot, #Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened #Gaza with intensifying strikes and aggression if captives are not released soon.
Katz said: "I want to send a clear message from here to the heads of the terrorists in Gaza: If Hamas does not soon allow the release of the #Israeli hostages from Gaza... and continues firing at Israeli communities, it will face blows of an intensity not seen in Gaza for a long time."
This comes as the total toll for Israel’s aggression on Gaza reaches 45,500 #Palestinians since October 7, 2023.
#2024 will always be remembered as the year when the US-Israeli alliance stretched the limits of international law beyond the breaking point, ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip in broad daylight while waging war against six different Middle Eastern nations. #Israel#Gaza#Palestine#Lebanon#Syria#Iran#Iraq#Yemen#USA#Genocide #2025
Senator Bernie Sanders highlights the disconnect between public opinion and political action on U.S. support for Netanyahu's policies in Gaza. He reflects on his failed effort to introduce legislation halting arms sales, calling out the influence of money in politics that prevents elected officials from acting according to their conscience. #UnitedStates#AIPAC#GazaGenocide#Netanyahu#BernieSanders
