Israel’s military has taken up positions in a buffer zone between the Jewish state and Syria for the first time in roughly half a century after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime to Turkish-backed terrorist rebels. Israel moved to take up positions around the Golan Heights as it monitors developments in Syria, according to The Times Of Israel. Rebel forces led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), designated a terror group by the Trump administration in 2018, ousted Assad and toppled Syria’s government in under two weeks in a shocking blitz offensive. “The IDF has deployed troops in the buffer zone and in a number of areas that are necessary to defend, in order to ensure the security of the communities in the Golan Heights and the citizens of Israel,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. The military emphasized that Israel’s occupation of the region was temporary and defensive against the chaos that has erupted in Syria. Israel’s move into the United Nations-occupied zone marks the first time since 1974 that Israel has held positions in the area, though the IDF has made brief excursions into the buffer zone over the decades. Israel made the move in part because the UN requested help repelling rebel attacks in the area. Israel has reportedly conducted airstrikes in Syria as HTS-led terrorist rebels seized Syria’s capital of Damascus. The strikes targeted weapons and ammunition depots and other military assets left by the Assad military. The assets were targeted in an apparent attempt to keep them from falling into terrorists’ hands, according to Reuters. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the fall of the Assad regime in a public address on Sunday while cautioning that the chaos in Syria and the rise of HTS carries its own dangers. “This is a historic day for the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers,” Netnayhau said, according to Fox News. The effective war Israel has waged against Iran and its terror network, especially Hezbollah, is directly responsible for Assad’s downfall, according to the prime minister. “This collapse is the direct result of our forceful action against Hezbollah and Iran, Assad’s main supporters. It set off a chain reaction of all those who want to free themselves from this tyranny and its oppression,” he said. “But it also means that we have to take action against possible threats. One of them is the collapse of the Separation of Forces Agreement from 1974 between Israel and Syria. This agreement held for 50 years. Last night, it collapsed,” Netanyahu continued. “The Syrian army abandoned its positions. We gave the Israeli army the order to take over these positions to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of Israel. This is a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found.”

President-elect Donald Trump said during an interview that aired over the weekend that the first executive orders he will sign immediately upon taking office will deal with the border and the economy. Trump made the remarks about signing “a lot” of executive orders during a Sunday interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker on “Meet The Press.” “Well, a lot of it will have to do with economics,” he said. “A lot’s going to have to do with energy. A lot’s having to do with the border. We’re going to immediately strengthen up the border and do a real job. And some of the basics.” WATCH: President Trump says we’ll get back to the basics on Day One — with executive orders on the economy, energy, and border security coming immediately after he takes office. pic.twitter.com/DixY56MggW — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) December 8, 2024 Trump said that he is planning on ending birthright citizenship on day one.

We often think of the royal family as so stately and refined. They can’t possibly be like us, right? Sure, there are plenty of parts of their lives that most of us can’t begin to comprehend. But it’s important to remember they are still human beings and a family of multiple generations who love and adore each other like we love and adore our families. They are King Charles and Queen Camilla to us, but to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, they’re Granny and Grandpa. And it appears they are loving and doting grandparents at that. During Kate Middleton’s Together At Christmas celebration on December 6, Prince Louis took part in a beautiful tradition. He wrote a thank you note to his grands for their special role in his life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales) Prince Louis Loves His Grandparents The prince, 6, wrote on a red piece of paper, “Thank you, Granny and Grandpa, because they have played games with me.” The note was then placed on a “Kindness Tree” along with dozens of others outside Westminster Abbey. The sweet note in a child’s handwriting is a true symbol of the meaning of the Christmas season. According to Today, Princess Kate shared a letter, obtained by Sky News, ahead of Together At Christmas with those invited to attend. She made it a point to remind attendees that everyone has hardships, but that with the love and caring of others, we can all overcome them. “Love is the light that can shine bright, even in our darkest times,” the princess wrote. “We all have something we can offer one another. Gentle words or a receptive ear, an arm around an exhausted shoulder, or silently being by someone’s side.” The Together At Christmas event will air in the United Kingdom on Christmas Eve. From what we’ve seen on social media thus far, Prince Louis behaved well, and his mother was very thankful. This story’s featured image is by Karwai Tang/WireImage Getty.

We don’t know about you, but we’re suckers for a good daddy-daughter tea party. Seeing a doting dad cater to his child’s every wish is both nurturing and charming. Everyone has a chance to escape the reality of a busy life and enjoy quality time. Usher understands the importance of bonding with his young daughter, Sovereign, so he indulged her in a delightful tea party. Usher shared a video on Instagram of him and his little girl all dressed up in a beautiful pink gown “gorgeously”, inviting her daddy to tea. What Usher did next made our hearts melt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Usher (@usher) Usher Wasn’t About To Say No To His 4-Year-Old Daughter. Usher gladly accepted when she presented him with a prince costume to match her frilly dress. As Usher dressed, he and Sovereign couldn’t quite agree on titles for the tea party. He wanted to be the King, but his little girl insisted he was a prince. She firmly told her dad that he was indeed the prince and her 3-year-old brother, Sire, would be the King. She would be both the queen and the princess. The sweet dad just laughed, and they were on their way to tea. Like the rest of us, Usher’s family is caught up in Wicked Fever, and the musical inspired their daddy/daughter tea party moment. “In honor of ‘Wicked’ we threw a party! Whatever my princess (or queen as she says ) wants, she gets! Tea party anyone?” Usher shared in his Instagram caption. A fan shared, “They better ‘Gorgeously’ invite me out everywhere from now on or I’m not coming.” The family’s costumes were a hit, “I’m impressed that Princess Mommy and Prince Daddy have royal attire on standby in case you’re gorgeously invited to tea.” Everyone would love to have a daddy-daughter moment like Usher and Sovereign. “Love how she demoted her parents to prince and princess and promoted her and her brother to king and queen…lol.” This story’s featured image is by Kathy Hutchins via Shutterstock.
