Osama Bin Javaid reports live from the town of Ba'ath in Quneitra, where he highlights Israeli tanks stationed on Syrian soil. Bin Javaid describes trenches marking the town’s boundary, with Israeli military posts, checkpoints, and troops advancing deeper into Syrian territory daily. He notes that residents face severe hardships, with limited electricity and communication, and feel they are under occupation despite being freed from the Assad regime. Satellite images reveal Israel's continued violation of the 1974 demilitarized zone agreement, with forces expanding their presence, isolating villages, and cutting off communities.
Sami al-Arian, director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University, says President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration could explain Israel’s move to re-engage in Gaza ceasefire talks. He said what Prime Minister Netanyahu wants in exchange for a truce agreement with Hamas is for Trump to agree to Israel’s annexation of between 40-60 percent of the occupied West Bank. Israel’s leader also wants “something done about Iran’s nuclear power”, and “something out of the Syrian situation”.
Dr. Mads Gilbert, an emergency medicine doctor with over three decades of experience providing healthcare in Gaza and an expert on hypothermia, joins Al Jazeera live from Tromso, Norway. He describes the dire situation for approximately 50,000 civilian Palestinians in northern Gaza, who are now completely deprived of hospital healthcare. Dr. Gilbert highlights the destruction of Kamal Adwan and other hospitals by Israeli occupation forces, calling it a blatant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention on its 75th anniversary. He condemns the disregard for international humanitarian laws and human standards, emphasizing the suffering of people already enduring starvation, lack of water, and now the absence of basic medical services.
Talks are expected soon between European powers and Iran on its nuclear programme. Days later, the man who tore up the last agreement - Donald Trump - will return to the White House. So where do things stand and what does each side want?
The Security Council holds an emergency meeting on the Israeli attacks on Gaza's healthcare system. The UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk briefs the council.
Foreign Minister of Germany, Annalena Baerbock holds a press conference after a meeting with Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Rob Geist Pinfold, a lecturer in International Security at King's College London, joins Al Jazeera’s live from London. He shared his surprise at recent statements by Western nations, which ex-pressed support for the Kurds but ruled out the establishment of a Kurdish entity in eastern Syria. He highlighted the ongoing tension between the de facto Kurdish-ruled region and the new central government led by HDS and Ahmed El Shara, noting Turkey's critical stance on the matter. Turkey views the Kurdish-dominated SDF in eastern Syria as a terrorist enclave linked to the PKK, a group it has long opposed.
A global fight against inflation, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, an escalation in trade tariffs between China on one side, the United States and its allies on the other, and a slowing Chinese economy that has raised alarm due to its ramifications for the rest of the world, and a strong US dollar with a robust economy - while Europe plays catch-up. The global economy has faced multiple challenges in the past year. Yet, it has proven to be, for the most part, resilient. So what lies ahead in 2025?
As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on October 22. None of the dates, titles, or other references have been changed. Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh were killed by Israel, leaving the group to debate a successor. And, as Israel’s war on Gaza continues, questions remain about what lies ahead for Gaza’s leadership and its people.
Hurricanes, droughts, floods and record temperatures left many countries devastated in 2024 because of climate change. While young activists are working hard to advocate for environmental justice, we question whether world leaders could do more.
Amjad Rass, a doctor and board member of the Syrian American Medical Society, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Detroit. He reflects on his experience of being unable to return to Syria since 2010 after being placed on a terrorist list due to his medical relief and advocacy work. Recently, he revisited Syria for the first time since the fall of the Assad regime, describing a mix of happiness, apprehension, and fear for the country's future. He shares concerns about the potential for further instability, similar to what other countries faced after the Arab Spring.
Authorities sought on Friday to execute an unprecedented arrest warrant for impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, evading a crowd of protesters that faced off with police outside his residence and vowed to block any attempt. Yoon is under criminal investigation for insurrection over his Dec. 3. martial law attempt that stunned South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy and one of the region's most vibrant democracies.
Ukraine shuts off Russian gas to Europe through its territory after a pre-war deal expires. Yet Russian gas supplies to the EU by ship are at record levels. Are western fuel sanctions imposed over the Ukraine war hurting Europe more than Russia?
Dan Perry, former chairman of the Foreign Press Association of Israel, discussed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza with Al Jazeera. He acknowledged the obstruction of aid during winter, leading to severe humanitarian issues. Perry highlighted Israel's argument that Hamas hijacks aid, complicating relief efforts. Despite accusations from aid organisations and the UN, Perry contended there is no widespread starvation in Gaza. He emphasised Israel's goals to retrieve hostages and remove Hamas, suggesting regional pressure on Hamas to end hostilities. In contrast, critics argue that the blockade and attacks violate international law and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. Perry disputed the classification of the situation as apartheid and occupation, citing the complex nature of the issue.
As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on October 1. None of the dates, titles, or other references have been changed. As conflict with Israel intensifies, Lebanon is in shock with more than a million people displaced after orders from Israel for ‘evacuation’. How have people relied on each other – and what do they do when there is nowhere safe to go?
Eight Palestinians in Gaza, 7 of which were babies, have died from exposure to the winter weather leading to hypothermia. Israel has blocked humanitarian aid including blankets and adequate tents. Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan is a paediatric intensive care and humanitarian physician. She's made several trips to Gaza and says that after a year of living under a genocide, children there are in extremely weakened and vulnerable condition.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has suspended Al Jazeera from broadcasting in the occupied West Bank. The PA is accusing Al Jazeera of broadcasting what it calls provocative material and reports, that it says are misleading. The decision will affect Al Jazeera's offices and its employees working in the occupied West Bank. It comes more than three months after Israeli soldiers raided Al Jazeera’s bureau in Ramallah and shut it down. Al Jazeera Media Network has deplored the PA’s decision to close its office in the occupied West Bank, calling it a move that is “in line with the [Israeli] occupation’s actions against its staff”. Al Jazeera correspondent Hamdah Salhut is following events from the Jordanian capital Amman. She's reporting from there because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting in Israel.
A high-ranking Syrian delegation led by newly appointed Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani, has arrived in the Saudi capital Riyadh. It's the new government's first foreign visit since the fall of the Assad regime last month. The head of Syria's new administration Ahmed al-Sharaa, has said that Saudi Arabia will have a large role in the country's future. Syrian leaders are looking to shore up regional and international support, in order to improve the country's economy and infrastructure, after more than 13 years of civil war.
senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights the paradoxical nature of the Palestinian Authority's actions against Al Jazeera. He emphasizes that while it is shocking for the PA to crack down on the network—given Al Jazeera's critical role in broadcasting the realities of the occupation, genocide, illegal settlements, racism, and apartheid to a global audience—it is not entirely surprising. Bishara suggests that the move may be linked to differences of opinion regarding Al Jazeera's recent reporting from Jenin. He asserts that such disagreements should not warrant the shutdown of the network.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said that the temporary ban was a result of Al Jazeera broadcasting “inciting material” and “interference” in Palestine’s internal affairs. The PA has been angered by Al Jazeera’s coverage of clashes between PA security forces and local resistance fighters in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reports live via phone from Amman, the Jordanian capital, because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting there. Meanwhile, Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative—a political party—joins live from Ramallah in the Occupied West Bank.
