US Ambassador-designate to Israel Mike Huckabee said in an interview on Channel 7: “As for the application of sovereignty, that is a decision that must be made by Israel, not by the United States, to impose it. Donald Trump will not be the kind of president who wants to dictate to countries how and what to do. He wants to accompany, assist, encourage peace efforts and strengthen partnerships. I would like to emphasize that there has never been a more pro-Israel president in history than Trump. The two-state solution is neither practical nor applicable: instead he promoted the Abraham Accords”.
“There are issues that the world likes to call controversial and, of course, everything related to Judea and Samaria is one of them. I have never agreed to use the term “West Bank”. There is no such thing. I am talking about “Judea and Samaria”. “I tell people there is no ‘occupation’ because this land is controlled by a people who have had legal ownership for 3,500 years, since the time of Abraham,” Huckabee added.
Samir Geagea of the Lebanese Forces told Reuters: “The Lebanese resistance must give up its weapons to end the war and save Lebanon from destruction.” He added: “The displacement of Lebanese Shiites to Sunni and Christian areas would cause problems in an economically struggling country.”
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement: “A tunnel has been dug under the village of Qila in southern Lebanon to prepare for an attack on Israel.” Lebanese sources reported that as part of the deal reached between Israel and Lebanon, Israel has agreed to arm the Lebanese army with a third country (apparently France or the United States) but there is no confirmation of this.”
The Houthis Yemenis have very modern weapons in their arsenal, including missiles that “can do extraordinary things,” said US Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante. He said what he has seen the Houthis do over the past six months has been “just shocking.” Axios notes that because of the ballistic and cruise missiles they have acquired, the group threatens almost every vessel that passes through the Red Sea, both civilian and military. In a press release, the Houthis said: “This week’s operations were carried out with 29 ballistic and winged missiles and one drone.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, Israel has asked Russian troops in Syria for help in preventing Hezbollah from replenishing its stockpile of weapons through smuggling. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed airstrikes in Syria, saying they targeted several buildings and command centers belonging to the Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad. The army said the attacks were a “significant blow” to the Gaza-based Palestinian terror group and its militants. The Islamic Jihad group launched an offensive on October 7 with Hamas and has also participated in attacks on Israel from Lebanon with Hezbollah. Syrian authorities reported 16 dead and 15 wounded.
Diplomatic incident in Beirut: The head of the Beirut airport security apparatus, Brigadier General Fadi Kfoury, issued an order to subject the Iranian embassy security team, who had come to accompany Mr Ali Larijani, who is visiting Lebanon, to a thorough search.
After the security delegation refused to be searched, claiming that they were diplomats and had immunity, Kfoury ordered all the gates leading to the airport’s VIP lounge to be closed, preventing them from entering and preventing the delegation from leaving.
