• Syria’s Jolani says Trump didn’t raise al-Qaeda ties at White House meeting

    Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led regime in Syria, said his association with the al-Qaeda terrorist group was “a matter of the past” and was not brought up in his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump.

    “I think this is a matter in the past,” Jolani told Fox News on Monday, adding that Damascus is now seen as a geopolitical ally of Washington and not a threat.

    Jolani said his talks with Trump at the White House focused on investment opportunities in Syria.

    His office said that the two also discussed “a number of regional and international issues of common interest.”

    “He comes from a very tough place, and he’s a tough guy,” Trump said of Jolani after the meeting.

    “People said he’s had a rough past, we’ve all had rough pasts… And I think, frankly, if you didn’t have a rough past, you wouldn’t have a chance,” he told reporters

    Trump further said that he was working with Israel on “getting along with Syria.”

    “You can expect some announcements on Syria,” he said when asked about the possibility of a deal between Damascus and Tel Aviv.

    Jolani received a muted welcome at the White House on Monday, as he entered the building through a side door and was not greeted by Trump outside.

    He quietly exited the White House through the same door without any photo opportunity in front of the press or a joint news conference between Trump and the former al-Qaeda member.

    Ahead of the meeting, the United States submitted a resolution to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), calling for the lifting of sanctions on Jolani.

    The UNSC approved the resolution, removing Jolani and Syria’s self-proclaimed interior minister, Anas Khattab, from a terrorism-related sanctions list.

    Once affiliated with al-Qaeda and Daesh, Jolani seized power in Syria following a rapid onslaught by his militant group, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which ousted the government of President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

    HTS had been proscribed as a terrorist outfit by the United Nations since 2014. Jolani was among those sanctioned, subjected to an asset freeze and travel ban.

    The US government had previously placed a $10 million bounty on Jolani, but that bounty was officially lifted in December 2024.

    In May this year, Trump announced that all US sanctions on Syria would be lifted.

    Trump made the announcement in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, during his visit to the kingdom, where he met Jolani, who expressed readiness to normalize ties between Damascus and Tel Aviv.

  • Hezbollah’s Raad: Resistance Cohesive Power, Martyrs Leaders of Victory

    On the occasion of Hezbollah Martyr’s Day, MP Raad laud “patient and resilient people of Lebanon, who carry the memory of the martyrs and the struggle, and who reaffirm their commitment to dignity and freedom.”

    “A martyr is not an infallible prophet or a symbol above humanity, but rather a human being distinguished by his awareness, commitment to values, and ability to sacrifice for others.”

    “Martyrs always work for the benefit of society, shunning selfishness and corruption, and bearing responsibility towards their homeland and community. They are the noble voice of humanity and society’s shield against succumbing to injustice and tyranny. Martyrs are the true force confronting attempts at domination and hegemony.”

    MP Raad, meanwhile, hit back at those who claim that the resistance initiated the war, noting that “data and facts show that the Zionist enemy and its sponsors considered operation Al-Aqsa Flood an existential threat.”

    In this context, he stressed that the Lebanese resistance group chose a “calculated engagement” that served the interests of both Lebanon and the resistance, avoiding a full-scale war that would not have been beneficial.”

    On the other hand, the Hezbollah lawmaker affirmed that international and regional attempts to pressure the resistance and Lebanese officials to achieve the enemy’s conditions are futile, recalling the decision taken by the Lebanese Government last August on Hezbollah disarmament and describing it as a “sin.”

  • Corporate Media Silent as Epstein–Barak Emails Indicate Mossad Connection

    Corporate media has completely ignored the bombshell disclosure that Jeffrey Epstein was involved with ex-zion¿st colonial Prime Minister, Ehud Barak and closely connected to the zion¿st Mossad.
    Leaked email exchanges between disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak reveal what has long been labeled a “conspiracy theory”: the notorious child-sex trafficker worked for Israel.

    Two ground-breaking stories were recently released, citing documents originally obtained by a hacker group called ‘Handala’, proving Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the Israeli Mossad. Both The (b)(7)(D) Investigations and, later, Drop Site News published stories covering these leaked materials and what they show yet across the Western corporate media, the story is nowhere to be seen.

    A shocking revelation from the email exchanges is that Epstein himself was not only corresponding with Israel’s former Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, regarding private matters, but was deeply invested in Israel’s foreign policy successes regionally.

    Particularly, the issue with which Epstein was involved and has been exposed through these email exchanges was that of overthrowing the Syrian government. Not only had Epstein sought to connect Barak to his contacts in Russia, with the intent of facilitating a Moscow-led ouster of former President Bashar al-Assad, he had even worked to edit and craft an opinion piece that the former Israeli Prime Minister was attempting to get published on the topic in 2013.

    Epstein had sent Barak a title recommendation and added points to the article to make it sound more urgent. The opinion piece was originally turned down by the likes of the New York Times and Washington Post, but was later published by The Telegraph without Epstein’s more aggressive additions.

    Later that same year, after threats were made by US President Barack Obama against Syria, Epstein reached out to the former Israeli Prime Minister to suggest that it was time to publish an op-ed with his title and commentary, to which Barak agreed.

    Epstein offered his advice on what propaganda he should use in order to place pressure on the US to attack Iran, commenting the following:

    “I would use the opportunity to compare it with Iran. The solutions become more complex with time not less. i think many people would like your views on egypt. syria, etc. russias role.? i think you might point out the gassing of ‘women and children’ is an expressions from the 20th centry. women are no longer equiv to children. civilians. vs combatants . only.”

    Bear in mind that Jeffrey Epstein had previously been sentenced in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor so, at this stage, his character was already well known. This, however, did not halt his relationship with the Mossad, Israel and, in particular, Ehud Barak.

    Epstein was instrumental in Israel’s attempted strategy to work with the Russian leadership in order to facilitate a political transition inside Syria that would remove its government. Although this did not work at the time, there were still initiatives set to get rid of Syria’s chemical weapons programme under Russian supervision. Interestingly, in the end, although many years later, a similar kind of transition of power, resulting in the removal of Assad, ended up unfolding.

    The infamous sex-trafficker’s connections with zionist are clear-cut and, through his email correspondence, it is clear that he was concerned with ‘Tel Aviv’s’ ability to effect regime change inside Syria in order to weaken both Iran and Hezbollah.

    Despite all of this information now being verified and out in the open, if you Google search “Jeffrey Epstein Mossad”, both the top results to pop up and the AI-generated summary refer to the claim as a “conspiracy theory”. Even a Time Magazine article, quoting former zionist Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, denying the affiliation between Mossad and Epstein appears.

    What should be a bombshell story, worthy of being reported upon across the corporate media perspective, has been collectively ignored.

  • zion¿st colony launches ‘fire belt’ in southern Gaza, killing 2 Palestinians, including child

    zion¿st military has launched a “fire belt” in the southern Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians, including a child, in its latest breach of a ceasefire deal clinched last month to end more than two years of genocide by the ‘Tel Aviv’ regime.

    The fatalities were caused on Monday, when zionist airstrikes targeted the town of Abasan, east of the city of Khan Younis, Palestinian medical sources reported.

    The aggression also targeted the nearby town of Bani Suhaila.

    Earlier in the day, medical sources had announced that a Palestinian child had been killed after an explosive device left behind by zionist forces inside Khan Younis was detonated.

    The death marked the second one of its type to take place in the mostly devastated coastal territory within less than 24 hours.

    According to resistance outlets, the deadly violations, meanwhile, “coincide with the systematic destruction of residential areas” in Khan Younis’ southeast and Rafah, another southern Gazan city.

    “Shelling and explosions are constant along the eastern border of Gaza, causing fear among displaced families in their tents,” the reports also noted.

    The ceasefire deal was reached between the zionist colony and Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement in early October.

    It seeks to implement the first phase of a 20-point plan by Donald Trump that the US president claims is aimed at ending the zionist colony’s two-year-plus war of genocide on Gaza.

    The genocide has so far claimed more than 69,169 Palestinians, mostly women and children, including hundreds who have been killed since the conclusion of the deal.

    Human rights experts and observers have denounced the ongoing bloodshed as a clear indication of the continuation of the genocidal pattern.

  • zion¿st forces plant, detonate explosives in two homes in southern Lebanon

    zion¿st troops have planted and detonated explosives in two homes near a Lebanese army checkpoint in the southern region of Hula.

    Lebanese journalist Khalil Nasrallah reported that Israeli soldiers entered the Subeih Hill area, northeast of the town of Hula in southern Lebanon, where they planted explosives in two houses and detonated them.

    According to Nasrallah, the hill lies near a Lebanese army checkpoint manned by several soldiers and one or two vehicles — the only checkpoint in the area.

    He emphasized that the army personnel “are not to be blamed under any circumstances,” noting that “their blood is precious.”

    Nasrallah criticized the authorities who ordered the army to confront Israeli incursions “without reinforcing and strengthening its presence in sensitive border areas.”

    In recent weeks, the Israeli military has intensified near-daily airstrikes across southern Lebanon, despite the truce agreed upon in November 2024.

    Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024, after suffering heavy losses on the battlefield and failing to achieve its goals despite killing over 4,000 people in Lebanon.

    Since then, the Israeli military has kept attacking Lebanon on an almost daily basis and has refused to withdraw its occupation troops from the Arab country.

    The Israeli occupation forces remain positioned at five locations inside Lebanese territory and continue to shell parts of southern and eastern Lebanon, and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

    The Israeli aggression has, since the November ceasefire, killed about 300 people and wounded more than 650, including women and children, according to the Lebanese government data.

    Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem criticized on Friday the US role in Lebanon, slamming Washington as a sponsor of aggression rather than an impartial mediator.

    According to a report by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, former US President Joe Biden allowed Israel to continue bombing Lebanon, even after the ceasefire was reached between the occupying regime and Hezbollah.

    The report revealed that Michael Herzog, former Israeli ambassador to the US, disclosed during a Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) conference that Israel had reached a “side understanding” with the Biden administration to continue to strike Lebanon despite Washington’s role as a so-called guarantor of the ceasefire.

  • zion¿st Enemy Escalates Attacks on Lebanon’s South, Bekaa

    One Lebanese citizen embraced martyrdom in a z¿onist drone attack on a car on Baysariyeh highway, Sidon district.

    The following video shows the process of lifting the targeted car.

    Al-Manar correspondent reported that z¿onist warplanes carried out raids on the Qatrani and Jarmaq areas in southern Lebanon, and on the eastern mountain range in the Nabi Sheet highlands, where fires broke out in this area.

    Accordingly, wildfires erupted in the outskirts of several towns in South Lebanon, including Al-Rihan, Houmin and others.

    This morning, zionist occupation forces carried out two large explosions targeting buildings in the eastern neighborhood of Houla, a town in southern Lebanon. The attack resulted in much destruction in the targeted area.

  • Lebanese Martyred in zion¿st Drone Strike in South Lebanon

    A Lebanese citizen was martyred early on Monday in a zion¿st drone strike in south Lebanon, in a new violation of the ceasefire that ended the zionist war on Lebanon in late 2024.

    Al-Manar correspondent said a z¿onist drone strike targeted at 6:30 (Beirut time) a civilian car on Tyre-Sidon highway near the southern town of Al-Bisariya and Sarafand.

    The drone fired a missile at the car, prompting the driver to get out of the car. The Israeli drone then fired two missiles at the driver, resulting in his martyrdom, our correspondent in south Lebanon said.

    Local media identified the martyr as Samir Ali Faqih from the southern town of Srifa.

    Meanwhile on Monday, National News Agency reported Israeli drones hovering at medium altitude over Iqlim Al-Tuffah in the district of Nabatieh in south Lebanon.

    Earlier on Sunday, two Lebanese were martyred in Israeli attacks on south Lebanon.

    The Israeli enemy continues to bomb Lebanon, mainly the country’s south, almost daily and maintains occupation over five posts along the southern border, in violation of a ceasefire deal reached following a brutal 66-day Israeli war between September and November 2024.

    In addition to the Israeli violations, the Lebanese State has been subjected to unprecedented pressure by the United States, the first sponsor of the Zionist entity, to disarm Hezbollah.

  • Mass graves, burned bodies found in Sudan amidst ‘unimaginable atrocities’

    Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have buried hundreds of civilians in mass graves and burned many others in a desperate attempt to conceal the unimaginable atrocities their fighters have committed in the city of al-Fasher, local medics say. 
    The Sudan Doctors Network said in a statement on Sunday that the fighters had “collected hundreds of bodies from the streets and the city’s neighborhoods and buried some in mass graves and burnt others in a desperate attempt to conceal evidence of their crimes against civilians.”
    The medical group described the killings as a “full-fledged genocide” and a “violation of all international and religious norms,” saying that mutilating corpses and denying them proper burial amounts to crimes against humanity.
    “The situation in al-Fasher has gone beyond a humanitarian catastrophe to become a systematic genocide, targeting human life and dignity amid an appalling international silence that amounts to complicity,” it added.
    “The RSF crimes,” it said, “cannot be erased by burying or burning.”
    The doctors’ network also called on the international community to take immediate action to launch an independent international investigation into the atrocities.
    A report from Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab in late October provided satellite evidence of mass killings and apparent pools of blood visible from space.
    The UN Human Rights Office in Sudan also confirmed that “brutal attacks” have intensified in El-Fasher since the RSF seized the capital of North Darfur on October 26.
    According to Li Fung, the UN’s human rights representative in Sudan, al-Fasher, “has witnessed an escalation of brutal attacks” over the past 10 days.
    Calling al-Fasher “a city of grief,” Li Fung said, “Civilians who survived 18 months of siege and hostilities are now enduring atrocities of an unimaginable scale.”
    “Hundreds have been killed, including women, children, and the wounded, who sought safety in hospitals and schools. Entire families were cut down as they fled. Others have simply vanished,” she added.
    Since capturing the city, RSF forces have carried out ethnic-based massacres, detentions, and sexual violence, while blocking civilians from escaping.
    UN human rights chief Volker Türk warned that civilians still trapped in the city were being prevented from leaving, expressing fears of ongoing “summary executions, rape, and ethnically motivated violence.”
    According to aid groups, the situation has triggered a mass exodus from the city. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that about 82,000 people have fled al-Fasher and nearby areas as of November 4.
    According to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), many families fleeing to the Tawila area of North Darfur arrived with “children who are not their own,” after being separated from or losing their parents during the chaos.
    Meanwhile, the medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported “extremely high levels of malnutrition among children and adults,” while local aid workers say some families are surviving on just one meal a day.
    The ongoing war between the Sudanese army and the RSF, now in its 19th month, has killed thousands and displaced millions.
    Regional and international mediation efforts have so far failed to bring an end to the conflict, which human rights groups warn is descending into one of the worst genocides of the 21st century.
