A year of high-stakes politics and crises: Key highlights from 2024
Monday, 30 December 2024 Reflecting on significant global events of 2024: a devastating tsunami hit Japan, the EU approved an AI regulation, Narendra Modi secured a third term, Donald Trump returned to the White House despite assassination attempts, Syrian rebels ended Bashar al-Assad's rule, and the UK saw Labour topple Conservatives.
As protests over immigration raids spiral out of control, U.S President Donald Trump has sent 2,000 National Guard troops into California — but is it even legal?
Governor Gavin Newsom says no, calling it a "serious breach of state sovereignty." Legal experts are divided, citing the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
Trump invoked Title 10, Section 12406 — but critics argue he’s exploiting rebellion laws to justify a power grab.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a lawsuit against Donald Trump over the federalization of the California National Guard without state consent, calling it “illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional.” Newsom accused Trump of igniting and escalating Los Angeles unrest, labeling him a “dictator” and slamming federal overreach as a “blatant power grab.” He vowed to fight Trump’s unilateral intervention in court. In a fiery response to threats of arrest by federal officials, Newsom declared, “Arrest me. Let’s go.” The legal battle begins Monday.

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

The EU has raised alarms over severe disruptions caused by China’s rare earth export restrictions, which have slashed supplies to key industries, including auto manufacturing. Exports to Germany halved in April, prompting emergency talks between EU officials and China’s commerce ministry. Beijing’s opaque and security-heavy licensing system is delaying shipments and pushing prices 4–7 times higher. The U.S. has accused China of violating trade agreements, as manufacturers in both the EU and U.S. now face critical material shortages.

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

The Musk–Trump feud has erupted into a full-blown political firestorm. Days after resigning from his White House advisory role, Elon Musk has publicly declared war on Donald Trump’s flagship spending legislation — dubbed the “Debt Slavery Bill.” In a scathing attack, Musk urged Americans to “Kill it before it kills America,” accusing the bill of ballooning the national debt by $5 trillion and betraying the very principles of fiscal conservatism. Branding it a “suicide pact for America’s future,” Musk is now spearheading a grassroots campaign to derail the legislation, pressuring Congress and vowing to “fire every politician who voted for this betrayal.”

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the BBC for its reporting on an alleged Israeli tank strike near an aid center in Rafah. Leavitt accused the outlet of relying too heavily on Hamas claims and pointed to several changing headlines as evidence of misinformation. The administration says it is verifying facts independently, suggesting the BBC prematurely blamed Israel. The clash reignites debates over media credibility, Middle East coverage, and the challenge of reporting from conflict zones.
