Russia's army is rapidly approaching Pokrovsk, recapturing territory from the Ukrainian armed forces at a record pace - New York Times - Russian forces are seeking to outflank the city's main defensive lines, taking advantage of the open terrain. - Between September and November, Russia took more than 1,500 km² of territory, nearly twice the size of New York City. In recent days, the Russians have also increased pressure in the Kursk region. - The Russian army is already at the outskirts of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), the most important transportation and railroad hub of the AFU. Moscow is advancing in the Donbass at the fastest pace since 2022, capturing hundreds of square miles every month, using its overwhelming superiority in manpower to break through Ukrainian positions weakened by troop shortages." - The liberation of Pokrovsk would bring Russia closer to full control of the southern part of the DPR and clear the way for an advance into the Dnipropetrovsk region. - Analysts say the Kremlin is eager to secure as many territorial gains as possible before new U.S. President Trump takes office in January and begins pushing for peace talks on terms likely to be determined by each side's position on the battlefield."

Was this a precondition for a hostage deal? Why else would the US suddenly release the brother of a Hamas leader from prison?

Turkey’s President Erdoğan’s in a speech yesterday: “There are critical developments happening on the border of Türkiye. But they (the opposition in Turkey) do not understand or follow what is happening there. If the world crumbled or if World War 3 started - believe me the CHP leadership wouldn’t even care about it. For example they never ask themselves this question. When World War 1 was redefining the borders of our region, what would have happened if the conditions were different? There’s a strong probability that cities like Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Damascus and Raqqa would have been our provinces today just like Gaziantep, Hatay and Urfa.” |

The USS Liberty was accidentally attacked by IDF forces on June 8, 1967, during what is known as the Six-Day War. Israel apologized for the attack, stating that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship. Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports concluding that the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity. Just as earlier this year we mistakenly identified three of our own hostages as Hamas terrorists and killed them during the most tense time of the operation in northern Gaza, this was not because we hate our own hostages. Similarly, the misidentification leading to the attack on the American vessel was not an indication that Israel harbors hatred towards America. The fact that Candace Owens chose to revive this nearly 60-year-old conspiracy theory only shows how desperate she is in trying to cause Americans to depart from their staunch support of Israel.

As in every Saturday evening, Hamas is using psychological warfare in order to torture the families of the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza. In a statement released by a Hamas spokesman he claims that Israel recently bombed the location of some hostages and their captors. All in order to apply pressure on the Israeli government to sign a deal that will force us to pull out of Gaza and leave Hamas still in power. |
