Two UN peacekeepers were injured in southern Lebanon due to a direct attack by Israeli forces, marking a significant escalation in tensions.

The article discusses the implications of the death of Yahya Sinwar, a Hamas leader, at the hands of Israeli troops. Experts suggest that while Sinwar's death is a significant blow to Hamas, it is unlikely to end the conflict without a diplomatic solution. Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu, emphasize the ongoing mission to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. The article highlights the potential for increased radicalization within Hamas and the opportunity for Israel and the U.S. to push for a ceasefire and political settlement. The involvement of U.S. intelligence and diplomatic efforts, including back-channel negotiations with Hamas in Qatar, is also discussed.

War in the Middle East: Reports of Imminent Ceasefire in Lebanon
26 Nov 2024
|
www.cannstatter-zeitung.de
|
German
| Hezbollah and Israel
Hezbollah and Israel are reportedly close to a ceasefire agreement, potentially ending the conflict that began with Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel. The proposed agreement includes a 60-day transition period during which Israeli troops would withdraw from Lebanon, and Hezbollah would retreat behind the Litani River. The Lebanese Army and UNIFIL would then ensure Hezbollah does not re-enter the area. While some analysts are skeptical, others see this as a step towards weakening Hezbollah and fostering political change in Lebanon. The agreement reflects recent military successes by the Israeli Defense Forces and is supported by the United States.

| Israeli Military Actions
U.S. engagement in the Middle East has intensified with a recent B2 bomber strike on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, part of a broader strategy to dismantle Iran's proxy networks. Israeli forces have shifted focus, reducing strikes on Gaza, while Hezbollah in Lebanon may disarm in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Hezbollah is reallocating troops from Syria to Lebanon, as Israeli forces aim to block Shia militias at the Syrian-Iraqi border. Syria continues to face Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian-linked military assets, highlighting Israel's intent to curb Tehran's regional influence. The situation remains volatile, with potential for broader conflict as tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran escalate.

Gold prices are rising due to increased risk aversion ahead of the Trump administration, with potential trade conflicts and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine contributing to this trend. The Federal Reserve's cautious outlook on interest rate cuts in 2025 may limit gold's upward movement. Gold is set to end the year with a 27% gain, driven by central bank purchases and geopolitical tensions. The US dollar's depreciation and lower Treasury yields are also supporting gold prices.

Israel Today: After October 7, Just How Far Right Will Israel Go?
10 Oct 2024

portside.org

English
| Right-Wing Shift
Following the events of October 7, 2024, Israel has experienced a significant political shift towards the far right, with the current government implementing policies that reflect this change. The Likud party, traditionally a standard-bearer of the Israeli right, has become ideologically aligned with the hard right, influenced by figures like Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich. This shift is characterized by increased military actions in Gaza, discussions of resettling Gaza, and a push towards West Bank annexation. Despite these developments, public support for the far-right coalition has fluctuated, with some Israelis expressing frustration with Netanyahu's leadership and seeking strong, secular leaders who prioritize security. The article highlights the complex dynamics within Israeli society, including the diverse perspectives of individuals like Or Gabbay and Orit Ofer, and the potential for future political changes driven by pragmatic right-wing hawks.

|
English
| Israel-Hezbollah Conflict
Lebanon faces a critical decision as its national military, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), remains on the sidelines amid escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The LAF's potential involvement is complicated by its reliance on Western support, particularly from the United States, and the risk of being perceived as supporting Hezbollah, a group considered a terrorist organization by many Western nations. The LAF's historical stance of neutrality and internal stability is challenged by the current crisis, with experts suggesting that its role may be more significant in post-conflict mediation. The conflict has displaced over a million Lebanese, exacerbating existing sectarian tensions and economic hardships. The political future of Lebanon, including the potential presidency of LAF commander Joseph Aoun, may hinge on the military's actions during this period.
