The ongoing conflict, which escalated in late September, has led to significant casualties on both sides, with over 4,000 deaths reported in Lebanon and 77 in Israel. Despite a ceasefire established on November 27, violations have continued, with Israeli airstrikes causing further fatalities in Lebanon.

France Begins Troop Withdrawals From Chad Amid Waning Influence
France has begun withdrawing its troops from Chad after the country ended military cooperation with Paris, which had been in place since independence in 1960. A contingent of 120 soldiers departed for France, marking a significant shift in military alliances in the Sahel region.

Chad's decision follows a trend among Sahel nations moving away from French military support, with leaders in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger also pivoting towards Russia. Chad's leader emphasized that ending the defense agreement does not signify a complete break in diplomatic relations with France.


Breitbart: Turkey Wants World's Governments to Remove Syria’s HTS from Terrorist Lists
Turkey Wants World's Governments to Remove Syria’s HTS from Terrorist Lists
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has called on the global community to lift the terrorist designation of the Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), asserting that the group has distanced itself from al-Qaeda and ISIS. Fidan stated that Turkey views HTS as a "legitimate partner" and plans to remove its terrorist label independently.

HTS, which recently overthrew Bashar Assad, claims it will respect minority groups and transition to a broader government. Fidan criticized the West for its stance on HTS while supporting Kurdish groups linked to terrorism in Turkey. The U.N. has designated HTS as a terrorist organization since 2015, and any removal from this list requires a unanimous decision from the Security Council.
