Israel plans to continue occupying five Lebanese locations “indefinitely,” violating the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah signed in November 2024.
Tomorrow marks the deadline for Israel’s full withdrawal from the occupied territories in southern Lebanon—a date the US already postponed from the original January 26 deadline at Israel’s request.
Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, killing, kidnapping and arresting civilians, blowing up houses, devastating roads, and bombing multiple areas across Lebanon. Now, Israel has announced it will maintain its presence in the country.
Israeli media also reported that Israel plans to triple the number of its troops stationed along the Lebanese border compared to the start of the war.

Syrian dock workers are protesting against mass redundancies at Latakia port, a result of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led government’s efforts to privatize state companies and persecute those who worked in the public sector under former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The port, which has long been a target of Israeli bombings, has seen almost all its workers fired under the new government.
Many public sector workers from the Assad period have been let go as the new administration has promised to introduce neoliberal reforms. The new Economy Minister has described their vision as “a competitive free market economy.”

Israel and the US claim they “will finish the job” regarding Iran, referring to a potential joint military strike in the coming months. In their joint press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly attacked Iran.
Rubio reaffirmed Washington’s unwavering support for Israel, stressing that the US will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power in the region.
According to a US intelligence report released last week, Israel is expected to launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities within the first six months of 2025. A US-Israeli attack on Iran could significantly heighten the risk of a broader regional conflict.

Foreign powers continue carving out spheres of influence in Syria two months after the Assad administration‘s collapse. Türkiye, likely the biggest beneficiary, now plans to establish two new military bases in the country while Israel expands its presence in occupied territories in the south.
With the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led administration in Damascus strengthening ties with Türkiye, Ankara’s influence in Syria is expanding rapidly. Meanwhile, the US is drafting plans to withdraw all its troops from the country, raising questions about the balance of power in the region.
As foreign actors reposition themselves, the future of Syria remains uncertain. Will Türkiye consolidate control over key territories? How will Israel or other regional and global powers respond? The shifting landscape signals a new chapter in Syria’s long-running conflict.
During Israel’s latest military operation, red. media interviewed Palestinians displaced in the West Bank.
The mass displacement of Palestinian refugees in the West Bank reflects the ongoing Nakba that began in 1948. Despite being uprooted, many remain determined to return to their refugee camps—even in ruins—mirroring the resilience of Gaza’s people.
Israel’s military offensive has forced over 40,000 Palestinian refugees from their homes, with at least 90% of Jenin refugee camp’s residents displaced.

Asked whether Germany would be responsible if the ICJ ruled Israel was committing genocide, the chancellor dismissed the idea outright. “From a legal assessment, I believe that would be a false judgment,” he said, calling the accusations “absurd” and insisting, “it makes no sense to focus on this topic.”
