War Room S01E11 · December 2024 Recap: Assad Toppled, South Korean Impeachment, and Israel

Overview

In an astounding lightning offensive in Syria, a coalition of rebel forces led by the Islamist HTS seized control over all of Syria’s major cities and decisively overthrew the 53-yearlong Assad regime. HTS then established a new temporary interim government in the country, Bashar al-Assad himself fled in exile to Moscow, while fighting in the north of Syria between the Turkish-backed SNA faction and the US-backed SDF faction continued. Meanwhile, Israeli forces seized control over a UN buffer zone in Syria and areas adjacent to the Golan Heights, marking the first Israeli ground invasion of Syrian territory in decades. Amnesty International also released a landmark report, concluding Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza as amounting to genocide. The death toll of Palestinians in Gaza reported by the Gazan Health Ministry also exceeded 45,000 people since the war began in October of 2023.
