Egypt accuses Israel of 'exploiting power vacuum' after seizing Golan Heights buffer zone
Monday, 9 December 2024 Israeli forces have seized a demilitarised buffer zone in the Golan Heights in a move that has been criticised by Egypt and Qatar.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed troops to the Golan Heights amid escalating violence in Syria. As jihadist groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), continue their rapid advance, capturing key cities like Damascus, the IDF's urgent statement highlights...
Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has approved Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a major IDF plan to capture Gaza City. Backed by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the operation will call up 60,000 reservists to reinforce troops already deployed. Civilians will be evacuated south before the offensive, aimed at isolating Hamas. Families of hostages expressed concern over risks, while Egypt’s ceasefire proposal was rejected for excluding all hostages. Katz declared Israel is at a decisive stage and vowed no hostage will be left behind.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

The Israeli Air Force launched massive daylight airstrikes on Yemen’s capital Sanaa, striking multiple Houthi targets, including areas near the presidential palace, power plants, and military fuel depots. More than 30 air raids sent huge clouds of smoke over the city, causing widespread power outages and shaking Houthi strongholds. The strikes followed Houthi drone and missile attacks on Israel, with officials claiming one carried a rare cluster bomb warhead. Casualties remain unclear, but social media visuals confirm severe destruction across Sanaa.

Israel pounded the outskirts of Gaza City overnight, as Benjamin Netanyahu's government vowed to press on with a planned offensive on the city. Sky News
Israeli forces launched multiple ground incursions into Syria’s southwestern Quneitra province, setting up checkpoints, searching residents, and deploying tanks before withdrawing hours later. According to Syrian state media, IDF convoys entered several towns, breaching the 1974 ceasefire agreement that established a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights. Damascus and its allies accuse Israel of exploiting Syria’s instability for territorial gains. The United Nations has condemned repeated Israeli violations, warning they risk escalating regional tensions and destabilizing the volatile Syria–Israel border.

Massive explosions rocked western Syria overnight as the Israeli Air Force launched precision strikes on the Brigade 107 headquarters in Zama village, near the Golan Heights. The IDF confirmed it successfully targeted and eliminated senior Hezbollah commander Hossam Qasem Ghorab, who was directing cross-border rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Fireballs and plumes of smoke were seen for kilometers, as the strategic military site was reduced to rubble. With tensions escalating in the region, the Israeli military vows to prevent further terror infiltration from Syria and Lebanon.

Dozens of Israeli Druze crossed from the Golan Heights into Syria’s Sweida province amid escalating violence between Druze militias, Bedouin tribes, and Syrian government forces. The move followed calls on social media urging Druze solidarity across borders. In response to what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was a Syrian plan to use weapons against the Druze, Israel launched airstrikes on Syrian military convoys, killing and wounding several personnel. Syria condemned the strikes and accused Israel of causing civilian deaths. Despite a declared ceasefire by Syria's defense minister, clashes continued, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the execution of at least 19 Druze civilians.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

#AhmedAlShara,
Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel. If confirmed, the move would mark a historic shift in Middle East geopolitics, potentially opening the door to broader normalization between the two countries.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.
