There will be no Russians in Syria, and subsequently none in Africa either. This is called checkmate.

If the Russian bases really are gone soon, then this is good news for sure. Naples HQ will celebrate.
Turkey however will do what it can to prevent the Kurds getting an autonomy zone that could become the core cell of ambitions for a national state beyinbd Syria's borders.


However, its not all rosy, the future of Syria still could turn out to be an Islamist regime. The US and Israel do not currently bomb military installations, depots and chemical weapon facilities inside Syria for no reason.

That because the Kurds have nearly 100% of the oil in Syria, over 50% of wheat production, and dominate the Euphrates, that is why they back them same Kurds that defeated Syrian ISIS on the ground with NATO air support. Not HTS, but rebels of the apparently revived Southern Front – once backed by Jordanian and US intelligence – were the first to reach Damascus. “They're very different.

It would have been too nice if they had simply disappeared quietly:


[Der Spiegel] Russia wants to talk to future rulers about bases in Syria. Russia maintains an air force base in Syria and a naval base with warships in the Mediterranean port of Tartus. The presence there is of strategic importance to ruler Vladimir Putin due to the access to the Mediterranean. It seems uncertain what will happen to the bases in view of the situation in Syria. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that it was still too early to talk about the future of the Russian military bases in Syria. Russia would discuss this with the future rulers in Syria. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the bases are currently in a heightened state of readiness, but there is no threat to the soldiers.

Houthis claim attack on central Israel in response to Gaza ‘massacres’

The Yemeni group says it will continue its ‘support operations’ until Israel ends its war and siege on the Gaza Strip.

The Houthis said in a statement on Monday that their forces struck “a sensitive target of the Israeli enemy”.

An Israeli military statement said a drone hit a building in the city of Yavne after air defence systems failed to detect it and an investigation into the failure is under way.

The Houthis said the operation “achieved its objective” without providing details.

The Houthis – who control large areas of Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, and present themselves as the country’s official armed forces – pledged to continue their attacks on Israel until the end of the war on Gaza.

Well they wouldn't would they?

They're probably in the dark about what in fact they did hit.

International aid organisations and charities have repeatedly warned of crisis levels of hunger affecting the more than 2 million people in Gaza while Israel has been accused of using starvation as a weapon of war.

"I feel humiliated and degraded, begging every day to secure food for my children. I wish for death daily because of this endless struggle," she said.

"When my children cry from hunger, I sometimes lash out at them in frustration. Last night, I hit my eight-year-old son because he was crying for food," she revealed, her voice filled with anguish.

Israeli attacks on Gaza residential areas kill at least 29

Bombardment across besieged territory intensifies and humanitarian crisis deepens after more than 14 months of Israeli attacks.

The attack killed at least 20 people, including women and children, but there were fears the death toll could rise. Local media reports said at least 30 displaced people were living in the multistorey home of the Abu Tarabish family before it was struck.

Sixty patients at Gaza hospital at risk of starving, authorities say

Health Ministry warns patients could die from lack of food, water as UN official briefs Security Council on conditions.

“The humanitarian situation inside the hospital has become extremely dangerous, as the wounded lack basic needs, which increases their suffering under the difficult conditions imposed by [Israeli] forces,” the ministry said in a statement.

Demolition work begins at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, devastated by Oct. 7 Hamas attacks

Demolition work begins at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, one of the Gaza border communities worst hit by the Hamas attack on October 7 last year.

Ninety-seven buildings have been designated for demolition, but no decisions have been made yet about 48 buildings in the “Young Generation” neighborhood.

Of 37 residents of this neighborhood, 11 were murdered and seven were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip. In total, out of the 1,000 residents of Kfar Aza, 62 were killed during the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel.

Some 1,200 people were killed, mainly civilians on that day, and 251 were seized as hostages and abducted to the Gaza Strip.

As part of Kfar Aza’s rehabilitation, 400 buildings will be renovated (360 residential buildings and 40 public ones), and damaged infrastructure will be repaired.

The Tekuma Directorate, charged with rehabilitating the Gaza border area, will allocate NIS 200 million (nearly $56 million) to Kfar Aza for the works. These will include building a new Young Generation neighborhood in a different location on the kibbutz, and a new residential neighborhood.

The kibbutz, currently housed in temporary accommodation in Kibbutz Ruhama, has contracted with the management company A. Epstein & Sons (1995) Ltd.

It is not so much Israel and IDF you should accuse-NO aim it at HAMAS who's stealing the food who arrives on daily basis.

That is not correct, Israel !00% controls and dictates what goes in or out of Gaza. Gaza needs hundreds of containers daily that only can be transport if Israel allows it, and it does not allow Gaza daily basic need to cross the border for more than a year people eat grass and drink polluted water. It is simple they starve because Israel needs its revenge, how long will they continue till it reaches 6 million?

Similar, not identical. And I’m not talking about their behavior toward the Jews—that was exceptional, with its own particular characteristics. I mean how they acted to the Poles, the Belgians, the Dutch. To all of them... The Czechs. It’s a very negative trait that we acquired, to be ... I’m afraid to say it, so I won’t. We’ve become cruel, to ourselves as well, but mainly to the occupied population, using the excuse of the war against terror.

Then I was wrong, I was picturing lots of trucks entering Gaza from both Israel and Egypt and the fact Hamas are being accused of stealing the food and the material, when I read Exocet25fr post.

If it's correct then Israel isn't better than Hamas and Hezbollah.

Israeli drone attack on Gaza aid convoy kills 12 as hunger crisis deepens

The bombing was the latest Israeli attack targeting security guards escorting humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.

Medics and local residents told the Reuters news agency that at least 30 people were injured, including several in critical condition, following the Israeli attack on Thursday that targeted civilian guards tasked with securing the aid convoy in the southern part of the war-torn enclave.

The attack is only the latest by Israeli forces on humanitarian aid workers, convoys and those trying to assist the safe entry of food and other supplies into war-torn Gaza, which is gripped by food shortages and fears of famine in the north of the territory, where an Israeli military ground operation and siege have been ongoing for several weeks.

Haoliang Xu, associate administrator of the UN’s Development Programme, said conditions in Gaza were unlike any he had seen before.

“I’ve been to many conflicts and disaster situations or disasters themselves that I experienced, I can say that I’ve never seen the kind of devastation that I’ve seen in Gaza in my career,” he said.

“What I know is that at least for the last month, no fresh fruit and vegetables have been imported” into Gaza, he added.

Dozens killed in Israeli air strike on Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp
A post office sheltering displaced Palestinian families has been hit in Nuseirat, as well as nearby houses, according to a medic.

More than 30 Palestinians have been killed and 50 others injured in an Israeli air attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Palestinians decry ‘barbaric’ Israel strike on Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. At least 36 people, many members of same family, were killed in the Israeli strike on a Palestinian shelter.

The Government Media Office in Gaza called the Thursday attack a “barbaric and heinous massacre”, noting that most of those killed hailed from the al-Sheikh Ali family.

“The [Israeli] occupation army knew that this is a residential block with many apartment buildings housing dozens of civilians, children, women and displaced people,” the office said.

As of October 2024, the one-year anniversary of the war, Israeli strikes had completely wiped out at least 902 entire families in the Strip, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza.

Israeli troops can remain in Gaza after war, Hamas concedes in major U-turn

Hamas has reportedly agreed to allow Israeli troops to remain in Gaza in a major about-turn that could unblock a hostage deal.

The Palestinian terror group has also handed over a list of hostages, including US citizens, who would be freed under a ceasefire agreement, according to mediators.

The reversal has raised hopes that a deal could finally be struck after more than a year of fighting, which was sparked by Hamas’s attack on Oct 7 that killed 1,200 Israelis.

The fundamental sticking point blocking a deal has been over what a ceasefire would look like in practice.

Israel has taken control of more parts of Gaza since the war broke out last year, including the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egyptian border, as well as the Netzarim Corridor, which divides the north and south of the territory.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, believes these areas should remain under Israeli control after any ceasefire, something Hamas had previously refused to agree to.
