Syria undergoes a historic transformation as Ahmed al-Sharaa is named interim president following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. The Military Operations Command announced sweeping changes, including the suspension of the constitution and the dissolution of parliament. Rebel factions, including HTS, have been disbanded, paving the way for a unified national Syrian army.

In a bold move, Assad’s Baath Party and its feared state security apparatus have been dismantled, along with the National Progressive Front, which was aligned with the former regime. All political entities loyal to Assad’s rule have been banned from reforming, marking a significant shift in Syria’s political landscape.

The transitional government, led by Sharaa, is tasked with stabilising the country and representing Syria in international forums. The leadership has pledged a new path forward, promising governance reforms and a national rebuilding effort. The world watches closely as Syria enters a new chapter.

Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed the killing of its military leader, Mohammed Deif, and deputy commander Marwan Issa in combat. Israel had previously claimed Deif was killed in a July 2024 airstrike, but his death remained unconfirmed until now. Issa was reported dead by Israel in March last year, though Hamas had denied having evidence at the time.

Al-Qassam Brigades’ spokesperson, Abu Obeida, also announced the deaths of several senior Hamas military commanders. Among them were Ghazi Abu Tamaa, commander of weapons and combat services, Raed Thabet, commander of manpower and head of supplies, and Rafei Salama, commander of the Khan Younis Brigade.

These confirmations mark a significant development in the ongoing conflict, as Hamas has now publicly acknowledged the loss of key military figures. The statement comes amid continued Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza.

"Swedish Police Confirm Killing of Iraqi Refugee and Quran-Burning Activist Salwan Momika"

Swedish authorities have confirmed the killing of Iraqi refugee and anti-Islam activist Salwan Momika, who was shot dead in Stockholm on Wednesday night. Momika, widely known for his controversial Quran-burning events, became a divisive figure in Sweden and beyond, sparking international outrage and diplomatic tensions.

According to Stockholm police, five individuals have been arrested in connection with the murder, and an investigation is ongoing. Officials received an alert at 11:11 PM, and a prosecutor has been assigned to handle the case. The circumstances surrounding the killing remain unclear, but it has already ignited widespread debate.

Momika, who was in his 40s, had previously faced legal challenges in Sweden, including an incitement case related to his public burning of the Quran. He repeatedly defended his actions as free speech, while critics denounced them as provocative and inflammatory. His events drew sharp condemnation from Iraq, straining relations between Baghdad and Stockholm.

In his final posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Momika supported Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, shared anti-Muslim memes, and sought donations for his legal defense. On January 16, he announced that he was due in court for the second session of his incitement trial, urging supporters to contribute to his legal fees.

His killing has further fueled ongoing debates about the intersection of free speech, religious sensitivities, and immigration policies in Europe. As a vocal proponent of ending Muslim migration, Momika was a controversial figure among Iraqi diasporas and European nationalists alike.

The incident is expected to heighten tensions across Europe, especially among far-right anti-immigrant movements that share Momika’s ideology. Meanwhile, many Iraqis, like 40-year-old Najlaa Jassim in Istanbul, have condemned both Momika’s actions and his killing, emphasizing that violence is not the answer.

In a recent development, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad released eight hostages, including Israeli soldier Agam Berger, civilians Arbel Yehud and 80-year-old Gadi Moses, along with five Thai nationals. The handover was facilitated by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza. Notably, Berger, the last female Israeli soldier in captivity, was seen wearing military attire during her release.

This release is part of a broader ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which stipulates the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners. Under this agreement, Hamas has committed to releasing 33 Israeli hostages, primarily women and children, in phases. In return, Israel is set to free over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including individuals convicted of serious offenses.

However, the latest exchange faced challenges. Israel temporarily suspended the release of Palestinian prisoners due to chaotic scenes during the handover in Khan Younis, where hostages were reportedly paraded before crowds. This suspension threatens the planned release of additional hostages and prisoners, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire and the complexities involved in these negotiations.

Trump Vows to Deport Pro-Palestinian Protesters and Revoke Student Visas

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to sign an executive order in 2025 to deport foreign university students and resident aliens who participated in pro-Palestinian protests. In a statement, Trump declared that his administration would take immediate action against individuals he described as supporting "pro-jihadist" demonstrations.

He further emphasized that student visas of those he deems “Hamas sympathizers” on college campuses would be swiftly revoked. Trump criticized universities, claiming they have become infested with radicalism “like never before.” This move aligns with his broader stance on immigration and national security, signaling a potential crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism in the U.S.

The announcement has sparked intense debate, with supporters arguing it reinforces national security, while critics warn it could lead to suppression of free speech and discrimination against students expressing political opinions. If enacted, the executive order could have far-reaching consequences for international students and legal residents in the U.S.

"Israel has destroyed everything in Gaza—homes, schools, entire neighborhoods—but it cannot erase the sacred bond between a people and their land."

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian envoy to the UN, addressed the UN Security Council, emphasising the resilience of Palestinians and their deep connection to their homeland despite Israel’s relentless war and destruction in Gaza.

The United States envoy to the UN, Dorothy Shea, told the Security Council on Tuesday that the US supports Israel’s decision to shut down UNRWA offices. This comes as Israel intensifies its crackdown on the UN agency providing aid to Palestinians.

On the same day, Israel’s envoy to the UN announced that Israel would sever all ties with UNRWA and any organisation operating on its behalf. The ban on UNRWA in occupied East Jerusalem is set to take effect on Thursday, further restricting humanitarian efforts in the region.

Qatar Reaffirms Support for Two-State Solution

Qatar has reiterated its commitment to a two-state solution after US President Donald Trump again suggested relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt or Jordan.

Foreign ministry spokesman Majed bin Mohammed al-Ansari stated that Qatar does not always see “eye to eye” with its allies but remains firm in its stance on Palestinian rights.

“Our position has always been clear: the Palestinian people must receive their rights, and the two-state solution is the only path forward,” Ansari said in a media briefing.

The US State Department has ordered an immediate suspension of all foreign assistance, halting ongoing aid programs and freezing new funding as part of a 90-day review initiated by Trump. This drastic measure, aimed at aligning aid with US foreign policy goals, instructs officials to halt new obligations “to the maximum extent permitted by law” until Secretary of State Marco Rubio completes the review.

However, the suspension makes a critical exception for military financing to Israel and Egypt, ensuring that arms supplies to Tel Aviv remain uninterrupted. This move underscores the administration’s continued commitment to its key Middle Eastern allies, even as broader foreign aid programs face uncertainty.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that Gaza has brought Israel “to its knees” despite its military superiority and U.S. support. “The small, limited Gaza brought the Zionist regime, armed to the teeth and fully supported by America, to its knees,” Khamenei stated during a meeting with officials in Tehran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei condemned Trump’s suggestion to “clean out” Palestinians from Gaza and relocate them to Egypt or Jordan.

Journalist Ali Abunimah, an American-Palestinian and executive director of the news site Electronic Intifada, has been released from detention by Swiss authorities and deported after being held for three days. He was detained on Saturday ahead of a planned speaking event in Zurich, sparking widespread criticism from activists and UN experts. Swiss authorities cited an entry ban but did not provide any specific charges against him.

Abunimah revealed that he was accused of “offending Swiss law” but believes his real “crime” was advocating for Palestine and speaking against Israel’s actions in Gaza. Describing his detention, he said he was transported to Zurich airport in handcuffs, confined in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van, and denied communication with his family during his three days in prison. He shared his ordeal on X, stating that he was treated "like a dangerous criminal" despite no formal charges.

The incident drew sharp contrasts as Israel's President Isaac Herzog, who controversially claimed there were no civilians in Gaza, was given a red-carpet reception in Davos around the same time. The treatment of Abunimah has raised serious concerns about press freedom and the targeting of journalists who speak up for Palestine.

The British Palestinian Committee (BPC) has released a damning report that outlines the full extent of the UK’s military involvement in Israel's ongoing war on Gaza. The report, published on Tuesday, calls on the British government to immediately end its collaboration with the Israeli military, which it describes as deeply complicit in acts of violence against Palestinians. While the UK government is not directly perpetrating violence in Gaza, the report highlights its role in validating arms licenses and engaging in extensive military collaboration with Israel.

The report specifically points to the use of the Royal Air Force (RAF) base Akrotiri in Cyprus by the UK, US, and Germany to facilitate the supply of weapons, personnel, and intelligence to Israel since the war began after Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. It also details how the UK has participated in attacks on Yemen’s Houthis and taken measures to protect Israel’s military infrastructure from potential Iranian retaliation. These actions, according to the BPC, reveal the UK’s active involvement in supporting Israel’s military operations.

Concluding its findings, the report accuses the British government of failing its third-party responsibilities under international law and alleges that its institutions and officials are complicit in acts of genocide against the Palestinian people. Furthermore, it criticises the UK for conducting military actions without parliamentary oversight, implicating its leaders in serious breaches of international law. The BPC calls for immediate accountability and an end to all forms of UK collaboration with the Israeli military.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are returning to northern Gaza, traveling by foot and in vehicles, after a ceasefire was reached and the Netzarim Corridor reopened. This movement marks an attempt to reclaim what remains of their homes and communities after months of displacement. In October 2023, following a Hamas attack on Israel, the Israeli military launched a significant offensive in the Gaza Strip, leading to the displacement of approximately 1.9 million Palestinians—about 85% of Gaza's population. The displaced were forced to leave their homes due to intense Israeli airstrikes and ground operations that caused widespread destruction across the region. #Gaza #Palestine #return #vehicles #northernGaza
