Ahmad Mansour writes:
“The experience of Hamas in #فلسطين and the experience of the opposition in #سوريا confirm that whoever possesses the reasons for power and can impose them on the ground forces anyone, especially his enemies, to deal with him.
It also confirms that the price of liberating homelands, whether from occupation or tyranny, is always high.”

On 17 December 2024, a coalition of over 1,200 Spanish jurists—including lawyers, judges, and prosecutors—gathered outside the Spanish Parliament in Madrid to present a petition urging the government to enforce a comprehensive arms embargo against “Israel”. The petition reflects growing concerns within Spain’s legal community regarding the ethical and legal implications of continuing military relations with “Israel”, particularly in light of recent conflicts and allegations of human rights violations.
This initiative aligns with a broader movement within Spain advocating for a reassessment of its military engagements with “Israel”. Notably, Spain had previously suspended arms sales to “Israel” in October 2023, a decision reaffirmed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who has called on the international community to halt arms exports to “Israel” to prevent further escalation in the region according to the Safa Press Agency.

The Israeli army on Tuesday committed at least 12 more violations of cease-fire in Lebanon that took effect last month to end more than a year of cross-border warfare with Hezbollah, state media reported.
According to the official Lebanese National News Agency (NNA), the violations concentrated in the districts of Tyre, Marjayoun and Hasbaiyya in southern Lebanon, and in the districts of Rachaiya and Western Bekaa in the country’s east.
The violations included airstrikes, drones and fighter jets flights, destruction of homes, bulldozing streets and artillery shelling according to Anadolu.
In the Tyre district, an Israeli drone strike targeted a car in the town of Majdalzoun that left three people injured.
The Israeli army also bulldozed a number of roads and destroyed a home in the town of Naqoura. Several homes were also destroyed in the town of Kfarkela.
While artillery struck the towns of Kfarshouba, Halta and Sheba in the Hasbaiyya district, warplanes flew over the districts of Rachaiya and Western Bekaa at a medium altitude.
Lebanese authorities have reported around 248 Israeli violations of the truce since it came into force on Nov. 27.
Since then, according to an Anadolu tally based on Health Ministry figures, at least 30 people have been killed and 37 others injured in Israeli attacks.
Under the terms of the cease-fire, Israel is required to withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line – a de facto border – in phases, while the Lebanese army is to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days.
Over 4,000 people were killed and more than 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and over 1 million others displaced since October 2023, according to Lebanese health authorities.

The World Bank stated that the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has led to an “unprecedented shift in modern history” for the Palestinian economy, which has been destroyed by Israeli attacks.
In their latest report, they revealed that the Israeli genocide has destroyed nearly 93% of bank branches in Gaza, with only 3 out of 94 ATMs still operational.
It added that Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to pay for basic goods such as food and medicine, as the collapse of the banking system disrupts the private sector.
