⚡️🇮🇱🇱🇧 — Israeli Chief of General Staff LTG Eyal Zamir on northern front posture and strategic objectives against Hezbollah:

«[...] We have achieved many significant operational accomplishments and weakened the Hezbollah terrorist organization. The IDF is determined to rid the area south of the Litani River of Hezbollah’s presence, alongside advancing the ongoing overarching objective of disarming our Hezbollah.

This objective cannot be advanced as part of a desired agreement with the Lebanese government as long as the Lebanese Armed Forces do not significantly improve their effectiveness on the ground. We will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild its strength, restore its capabilities, or reestablish terrorist infrastructure in the area.»

➡️ On force transformation and future operational capabilities:

«The battlefield is changing rapidly. This challenge requires us to remain in constant motion, learn quickly, and continuously improve. As part of the lessons we have learned throughout the war, we are developing new capabilities and expanding the use of manned and unmanned capabilities, with the aim of increasing operational effectiveness.

In the coming months, we will inaugurate the Robotics Branch, which will develop capabilities in the air, at sea, and on land. [...] We will continue moving forward rapidly, developing and adapting ourselves to the changing reality, and becoming a global leader in this field.»

⚡️🇮🇱 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"All of our ears have burned from three recent incidents that caused immense damage to the State of Israel and immense damage to IDF soldiers.

The first was the statement by Yair Golan, who said that IDF soldiers murder babies for fun.

The second was the action of the military advocate, who released a fake video portraying IDF soldiers as rapists.

And the third, now, was the film Jenin, Jenin (or Gaza), which portrayed IDF officers and soldiers as war criminals.

The time has come to address this. I am going to submit two laws right now—government laws:

1 To revoke the citizenship of anyone who defames IDF soldiers.

2 To hit them in the pocket by increasing the libel damages that can be claimed against them twenty-fold.

We will hit them in the pocket and in their citizenship, because their place is not among us.

And one more thing: I expect all Knesset factions that claim to support the Zionist idea to back these two laws."

covering the media landscape. In truth, there was also a need to explain the state of the Syrian revolution during the liberation phase. This was extremely important at every stage, as was the fear that events might descend into revenge. One of our objectives was to advise people not to let the euphoria of victory lead them to acts of revenge, especially in areas that suffered greatly, such as the city of Hama. To be honest.

⚡️🇺🇸🇾🇪🇴🇲 — American diplomats met with Houthi representatives at the U.S. embassy in Oman over the weekend to discuss tensions in the Red Sea, a regional source familiar with the issue told Axios.

The meeting in Muscat, organized with the help of the Omani government, focused on maintaining a ceasefire between the U.S. and the Houthis and guaranteeing that the Bab al-Mandeb Strait stays open.

The talks come as the Red Sea crisis intensifies, with the Houthis advancing along Yemen's coast and attacking Saudi oil infrastructure.

We also received a message during the battle on the western street, so that we could decipher the mixed messages in his mind and reassure him. The general political message was about trying to avoid the strife resulting from the victory of revolutions, and so on, because many revolutions may succeed but then enter a spiral of conflicts and disputes. We were monitoring this from the very beginning, as well as the behavior of those working in the revolution, from the military and so forth. I mean, we might have met with the military units before the battle began. 70% of the discussion was about how to deal with people, and 30% was about military plans and how to organize.

⚡️🇸🇾 — Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa:

Many messages were being conveyed, most notably after the liberation of Damascus and the establishment and maintenance of civil peace, such as the state's monopoly on weapons. The idea that the revolution had ended at the borders of Damascus and that the focus had shifted to state-building was countered. The perception that the revolution had triumphed here could lead to its expansion elsewhere. We thwarted this from the outset, and anyone contemplating such a course of action was prevented from doing so. We also emphasized the mechanisms for state-building and related matters.

Economic integration between us and the Arab countries is a necessity, regardless of what is happening in Hormuz. Common sense always seeks multiple safe routes. Trade between East and West shouldn't be conducted via a single route; we must utilize all available paths. I believe that the new situation in Syria has created a suitable environment for connecting road and rail links, especially given its strategic location. This means Syria, Jordan, and Turkey are linked to the Gulf states, Europe, and so on. We discussed this from the moment we arrived in Damascus and met with our Arab brothers, even before the problems in Hormuz arose. This is the historical nature of the region, and we must rely on it in one way or another. Even if things seem to have improved in Hormuz, we must always seek alternatives.

Events are reported based on impressions rather than facts. Therefore, there are often impressionistic or politically motivated assessments that are far removed from truth and credibility. As you know, the media must always be independent and credible. This is paramount. It should address current events from multiple perspectives, including political analysis.
