Breitbart: Panama's Conservative President Asks Trump to Keep Deportation Flight Deal
Panama's President José Raúl Mulino has urged President-elect Donald Trump to continue a U.S.-funded deportation flight agreement initiated with the Biden administration. He emphasized the importance of addressing immigration, particularly concerning the Darién Gap, a key transit route for migrants.
Mulino's government has implemented measures to reduce illegal migration, resulting in a significant decrease in migrant crossings through the Darién Gap. Recent statistics show a drop from over 505,000 migrants in December 2022 to around 206,000 by December 2023.

Breitbart: Victorious Jihadis Suspend Syrian Constitution for Three Months
The jihadi group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has announced a three-month transition period in Syria, during which the national constitution and parliament will be suspended. A new constitution will be drafted, and HTS's "Salvation Government" will assume national governance, led by Mohammed al-Bashir as transitional prime minister.
HTS aims to establish a moderate Islamist government while maintaining a judicial committee to address past crimes. Despite claims of pragmatism and respect for diversity, concerns remain about the lack of democratic processes and the imposition of sharia law as the sole legislative source.
Times Of Israel: Georgia lawmakers elect hardline critic of West as new president
Georgian lawmakers elected Mikheil Kavelashvili, a hardline critic of the West, as president amid significant protests against the government's decision to halt EU accession talks. The ruling Georgian Dream party's freeze on the process until 2028 has sparked widespread anger, as polls indicate strong public support for EU membership.
Kavelashvili, nominated by influential ex-prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, leads an anti-Western faction and has been accused of promoting Russian-aligned policies. Outgoing President Salome Zourabichvili, who opposes the election, claims it undermines democracy, while protests against the government continue to escalate.
The Telegraph: Farmers threaten to block supermarket supplies in biggest protest yet over EU trade deal
European farmers are threatening to blockade supermarket deliveries in response to a free trade agreement between the EU and the Mercosur bloc, fearing an influx of cheap South American beef and poultry. The deal, signed by Ursula von der Leyen, faces potential vetoes from divided EU governments.
The agreement, finalized after 25 years of negotiations, poses a significant risk for von der Leyen, who has tied her credibility to this controversial pact early in her new term.
Breitbart: Katie Britt: 'Do You Not Already Feel Like Donald Trump Is the President?'
As the Biden administration nears its end, President-elect Donald Trump is taking on a more visible role, with some, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, labeling him the "first de facto president" in U.S. history. Senator Katie Britt expressed a sentiment that Trump feels like the current president, highlighting his public presence and decision-making.
Britt criticized Biden's attempts to reshape his legacy in the final weeks of his term, calling it embarrassing. She pointed out ongoing issues such as border security and the fentanyl crisis, suggesting that the public is aware of the challenges faced during the Biden-Harris administration.

Le Monde: Saudi-hosted COP16 ends without reaching agreement to combat drought
At the COP16 conference in Riyadh, African delegates sought a binding international drought resilience protocol but failed to reach an agreement. Africa is losing significant land to desertification, with over 100 football pitches lost every minute.
In response, Saudi Arabia launched an International Drought Resilience Observatory and the Riyadh Global Partnership, committing $2.15 billion to aid 80 drought-affected countries. However, experts estimate that $1 billion daily is needed to effectively combat desertification and restore land.

Breitbart: Syrian Kurds Prepare Delegation to HTS Jihadis as Turkish Proxy Assault Continues
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are preparing to engage with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a U.S.-designated terrorist group that has recently taken control of Syria following the ousting of Bashar Assad. Despite their past as adversaries, SDF leadership claims no conflict exists between the two groups.
As HTS consolidates power, the SDF faces increasing threats from the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, which has displaced around 120,000 Kurds in recent weeks. The SDF warns of a resurgence of ISIS in the region, with security at detention centers for ISIS members in jeopardy.
Breitbart: Spooked by Fall of Assad and Collapse of Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis Reduce Public Appearances
U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking noted that the Iran-backed Houthi leaders are adopting a lower profile due to fears of being targeted like other Iranian proxies. Despite this, they continue to conduct attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, reflecting their ongoing aggression.
Lenderking expressed hope that the regional shifts, including the fall of Assad, might pressure the Houthis to reconsider their actions. He acknowledged the Houthis' increasing self-sufficiency in weapon manufacturing and highlighted the significant economic impact of their attacks on global shipping.
Times Of Israel: Top US, Mideast envoys hold meetings on Gaza deal efforts and Syria’s future
US and Middle Eastern diplomats met to discuss a potential ceasefire in Gaza and the post-Assad transition in Syria. Egypt's President el-Sissi engaged with US officials about a hostage deal, while Israel objected to certain Palestinian prisoner names proposed by Hamas for exchange.
In Jordan, US Secretary of State Blinken and regional ministers emphasized the need for an inclusive Syrian government post-Assad. They called for a political process that respects all communities and warned against discrimination, while also addressing the threat of terrorism and the need for humanitarian aid.
The Telegraph: Israel paves way for strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities after taking out Assad’s army
Israel has significantly weakened Syria's military infrastructure, destroying about 80% of its equipment, which may facilitate a future strike against Iran's nuclear program. The collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime and the deterioration of Iranian proxies present a strategic opportunity for Israel.
Israeli officials assert that Iran is at its weakest point in decades, making this an opportune moment to act against its nuclear ambitions. Prime Minister Netanyahu's concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities align with those of incoming US President Donald Trump, who is reportedly considering military action.
