Israel announces the annexation of 24 thousand dunums of the West Bank to Israel. Also on the subject, the Haram settlers accompanied by the army entered southern Lebanon and posed for photos holding a sign that read “Lebanon is ours”. Their goal is to establish settlements in Lebanon as part of their “Greater Israel” project. Tel Aviv finally, after a Security Council meeting, declared full alert for the Israeli army on the Syrian border. Defense Minister Israel Katz and Chief of Staff General Hertzi Halevi conducted a situation assessment with members of the General Staff Forum regarding developments in Syria. The IDF is monitoring developments and is prepared for all scenarios, offensive and defensive. The IDF will not tolerate threats near the Lebanese-Syrian border and will thwart any threat against the State of Israel.

The Lebanese army reported that officials, including the head of the five-member supervisory committee, American and French generals, and Brigadier General Edgar Lowndes, visited the South Litani sector by helicopter to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire. The committee is expected to hold its first meeting early next week. NBC News reported, quoting UNIFIL spokespersons, that “The cessation of hostilities in Lebanon is still very fragile.”

A Palestinian leader in Al-Mayadeen, contrary to statements made on December 5, said that “Hamas has not yet received any proposals regarding negotiations and everything that has been published in the media is wrong.” On the morning of December 6, Hamas movement leader Bassem Naim said: “International mediators have resumed negotiations with the movement and Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza.” “We hope to reach an agreement to end the war that has lasted 14 months. I believe that the next American administration, led by President-elect Donald Trump, will be able to “positively influence the situation,” considering that Trump has made the cessation of wars in the region part of his election campaign platform. Hamas is adhering to the core demands it has held to during previous rounds of negotiations, including the implementation of a permanent ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and the right of internally displaced Palestinians in Gaza to return to their homes. The movement is “ready to show flexibility” regarding the implementation of all of these, including the timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the main parts of the Gaza Strip.”

Regarding yesterday’s incident on the borders with Jordan, it is learned that the IDF and Israeli police forces arrested three suspects in the Nahal Zin area and they were transferred to the security forces for questioning.
