The “New Syria” heralded by President Ahmed al-Sharaa is being aggressively marketed to the world as a pragmatic, post-conflict entity ripe for investment. After years of civil war, Damascus is appealing for billions to finance reconstruction, promising a stable, modern state ready for regional integration.

Peloni:  Why indeed?

The European Union is reportedly preparing to sit down with Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program — again. By offering Iran another platform for legitimacy, the EU and the UN are shoring up a monumentally brutal regime at a time when, for the West’s own good, it should be applying pressure, not extending a hand.  Pictured: Iran Conference.

I remember once seeing a cartoon of a Native American chief looking wistfully towards the distant horizon where once his ancestral homeland lay. He was speaking to a stranger about the peace treaties he had made that were all dishonored by many Americans.

Each Friday like clockwork, (pun intended) he opened what he affectionately called his junk drawer and stashed his cell phone inside. “Shabbat Shalom,” were his parting words spoken directly to his devices as he closed the door on the material world and, following biblical direction, he refocused on his spiritual self.

After the return of the 20 Israeli hostages who were still alive, and the bodies of 27 deceased hostages whom Hamas had killed in captivity, in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences for murdering Israelis, and the ceasefire arranged two months ago between Hamas and Israel continued, albeit shakily, in force, it was time to move to Phase Two of Trump’s plan to bring a permanent end to the Gaza War. But Hamas has made clear that the most important part of Phase Two — the disarmament of the terror group — will not happen.

Tensions between Israel and Syria have continued in the wake of a November 27 raid in southern Syria by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). On December 4, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), a state media outlet, accused Israel of a new incursion in southern Syria.

“Israeli occupation forces renewed their incursion Thursday evening into Quneitra countryside, attacking Tal Ahmar Sharqi and the outskirts of the town of Kuwaya in the Yarmouk Basin area of western Daraa countryside with artillery shells,” the report said. It is the latest in a series of incidents between Israel and Syria. The last major incursion took place on November 27, when an Israeli raid into the village of Beit Jinn resulted in six IDF soldiers being wounded and at least 13 Syrians killed.

The reality of how such entities and their agents function speaks to the need for more than just the formal listing of the name of an organization like the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood is viewed as a global network of terrorist jihadists, including U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Hamas.

Peloni:  This is an important article.  As I noted previously, Trump’s reference for the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt held regional significance, even as it failed to cite those chapters directly influencing US policy in Washington and across US institutions and colleges.  In this article, Mudar Zahran describes the regional import of Trump’s Executive Order as it applies to Jordan, something which may be quite relevant to what might be coming in the near future.  Also note the timing of Trump’s Executive Order being announced just shortly before his statement that Phase II of his peace plan is to be unveiled later this month.

When President Donald Trump issued an executive order moving toward designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization in Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, many asked the predictable question: Why those countries?

The answer begins in one place.

Jordan.

Peloni:  The reality is that the case against Netanyahu stands as an indictment on the entire political, legal, and media establishment in Israel.  It stands as a testament to the absurd levels which the elites have weaponized the most basic comodity in a liberal society, namely justice, against the longest serving leader in Israel’s history.  So the pardon is in effect eliminating further examination in this case of the those who brought these charges, who manipulated the press coverage, and have set legal precedents which have deteriorated the liberties in Israeli society.  Knowing that the use of lawfare could be made against the premiere of the nation indicates that it could be used against any citizen in the nation, and  with far less fanfare.

In mid-November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) “as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. This designation authorizes heightened enforcement against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas.”

Kudos to Governor Abbott as the enforcement now begins:
