Good afternoon. It's Thursday Pares
on edge and it's December 25th 2025
Nisura.

for my English friends. You can look at

call them mention on edge for a good
deal. You never know today's little
height might give you a better deal.
Okay, as we reported yesterday,
President Vladimir Zalinski called for a
meeting with Trump and he said he's
ready to end the war. Sure. While the
first draft of the US peace plan, right,
the 20point peace plan essentially
called for Ukraine's surrender, the
revised version now includes the hard
security guarantees Kief needs to
prevent future aggression. But the
fighting on the ground tells a very
different story. While Vladimir Zalinski
officially offered to create a
demilitarized zone in the eastern Donetk
Donetsk region, his troops just handed
Vladimir Putin a stinging defeat in the
north. Reports confirm that Ukraine has
retaken full control of the strategic
city of Kubinsk
stand. Okay, this is a mess of a massive
humiliation for the Kremlin. Putin had
recently boasted about capturing the
city and even awarded General Sergey
Kuzovv the hero of Russia medal for the
victory. Now, there are calls to strip
him of that award with pro-Russian
channels themselves calling the
situation worse than critical and
admitting they defeated themselves by
believing their own propaganda. The mood
the mood isn't exactly festive on either
side. In in his hugger message, Zilinski
didn't mince words about the Russian
dictator telling his people, "May he
perish. May he perish." Meanwhile, the
physical attacks are escalating deep
inside Russia. And I would say in
Ukraine as well. Ukraine used
Britishmade storm shadow missiles to
strike the Novos Shaktinsk Novak Novos
Shaktinsk oil refinery in Rostov region
today. In addition to that strike, two
oil storage tanks were set ablaze at the
southern Russian port of Triuk. See all
these names? Can you pronounce them like
me or like probably I'm pronouncing it
right? If not, let me know. On to on
this well Thursday morning. This
morning, regional authorities confirmed
that a Ukrainian drone attack ignited
the fuel, causing a massive fire that
has already spread across roughly 2,000
square meters. In the southern sector,
the news for Kiev isn't getting any
better. Russian sources are now
reporting that Moscow's forces have
seized the headquarters of Ukraine's
second territorial defense brigade in
Gulier.
Gouier.
Yeah. Let's see if you can pronounce
that better than I do. I don't know if I
pronounced it, but it's it's Gulier, I
think. Yeah. Loca located in the
Zapishna region. Okay. The report coming
from the Divven Telegram channel
indicates that Russian troops have
successfully stormed the command center,
marking another potential setback for
Ukrainian defenses in the south. It's
brutal, what can I tell you? And in a
move to test the West's patience,
Russian nuclear capable bombers flew
near Britain today near my near my my my
brothers and sisters where they live. Um
I'm British. Yeah. The NATO alliance was
forced to scramble fighter jets to
monitor the massive Russian aircraft as
they patrolled near the border. The
Russian Ministry of Defense stated that
its strategic aviation was just carrying
out a planned flight, but military
analysis analysts see it as a clear well
the take out the elf from flight and see
it as a fight as a clear message to the
West amidst this the crumbling front
lines. Okay, now listen to this
interesting report. A 17-year warning
has just been revealed, offering a
chilling glimpse into the roots of
today's war. Newly declassified
transcripts show that Vladimir Putin,
the dictator of Russia, explicitly told
President George W. Bush in 2008 that
Ukraine was an artificial country and
warned that NATO membership would spark
a massive conflict. That's what he
warned. Then the documents released from
a meeting in Sachi Osachi reveal Putin
telling Bush that Ukraine is not even a
state but rather a collection of
territories pieced together from Poland,
Romania, Hungary, and Russia. He warned
the American president that bringing
Kiev into the then American president
that bringing Kiev into the NATO
alliance would create for the long term
a field of conflict for you and us, he
said, and could cause the country to
split apart. At the time, the warning
was seen as a bluster during a
diplomatic dispute. Today, analysts say
it read, well, it reads like a battle
plan that Putin waited nearly two
decades to execute. So, when a dictator
tells you a country is artificial and
warns of a long-term conflict, he's not
predicting the future, he's planning it.
Imagine Trump being president then.
Speaking of dictators, the Chinese
military is expanding its horizon,
literally. According to a report from
the South China Morning Post, Beijing's
forces forces have conducted um
exercises, wargaming exercises that
simulate battles near Mexico and Cuba.
While Taiwan remains a primary focus,
featuring the center of one of the maps
used, these simulations suggest China is
testing scenarios far beyond its own
backyard, effectively bringing the
theoret the theoretical fight to the
doorstep of the United States.
Yes. Let's talk about Israel and Gaza,
right? The IDF military lookouts spotted
an unmanned aircraft, well, two
actually, drones crossing from the
western border of Israel. An attack
helicopter working with Division 80 was
scrambling to the scene. The pilot
locked onto the target and shot down
both drones the moment they crossed into
Israeli airspace. Trying to sneak in a
drone into Israeli airspace is like
bringing a plastic knife to a gunfight.
Anyway, following up on the explosion we
reported yesterday that injured an
Israeli officer in Rafa and Rafiak,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyao was
vowing to take revenge against the
terrorists responsible while Islamic
terrorists kamas are now claiming the
blast was just an old mine left behind
by is Israelis themselves year years
ago. Natanyao is not buying their
excuses obviously. Speaking of an at an
air force graduation, the prime minister
said that this incident proves that
kamas has no intention of laying down
its weapons as required by the Trump
peace plan. He warned the terror group
kamas that if they do not disarm the
easy way, Israel will make it sure will
make sure it happens the hard way. His
office added that the IDF will respond
forcefully to this attack and will not
stop until the threat is removed. The
Israeli Air Force speaking which carried
out powerful strikes on Thursday morning
this morning against terrorist targets
Kamas inside the yellow line area of the
Gaza Strip.
Reports from Gaza say fighter jets
launched heavy attacks on eastern
Kanunas Rafia and the Albalah which is
inside the yellow line. These strikes
focused on areas where Islamic
terrorists have been operating near the
new border lines. In addition to the
jets, Israeli helicopters and naval
ships opened fire on targets near Gaza
City. The military says these operations
are necessary to remove immediate
threats to soldiers stationed along the
ceasefire line. Since the ceasefire
began in October, is Israel has killed
over 400 terrorists who were accused of
crossing the yellow line or posing a
danger to troops.
Reports from Gaza say the Israeli army
is using drones to to to move the yellow
line further into the Gaza Strip. Listen
to this report. Gazen journalist Hamza
al- Masri says the IDF quad quadcopters
quadcopters quadcopters have been
dropping yellow barrels into the alsafur
area of the Altufa neighborhood to mark
new boundaries. Reports say the line was
moved 100 meters west along the 300 m
stretch seizing another 30 um dunams of
land. Hundreds of families have received
evacuation orders before the area is
flattened. Propestinian sites claimed
the Israeli army has moved these markers
several times over the last few weeks.
They saw the yellow line has grown by
another 10% and now covers 63% of the
Gaza Strip. This is more than the area
originally agreed upon in the Trump
peace plan, which initially gave Israel
control of about 58% of the land. An
investigation is underway
in the West Bank following a series of
violent incidents today near the village
of de Jared northeast of the Ramla.
Earlier, Palestinian media reported that
a vehicle driven by an Israeli struck a
local resident. While security sources
initially noted that the drivers in this
area often accelerate faster speeds to
avoid rockth throwing ambushes and the
IDF has now released specific findings
regarding the driver. The military
confir the the IDF has confirmed that
this individual was a active was an
active reserve soldier dressed in
civilian clothing. According to the IDF
statement, the soldier opened fire
inside the village and then struck a
Palestinian man who was praying. This
event was followed by further unrest as
reports confirmed that a group of masked
settlers entered the uh well entered the
village later in the day throwing stones
and firing live ammunition.
The IDF stated that the soldier involved
in the ramming has had his weapon
confiscated and his reserve service
immediately terminated. A criminal
investigation has been opened. Moving to
Iraq. Kamas is looking for friends in
Iraq and the situation there is pretty
twisted. Now listen to this. A top kamas
leader Osama Hamdan just finished
meetings in Baghdad to get support from
for their cause. But here's the crazy
part. At the exact same time, Iraq's top
Christian leader got in a huge trouble.
Why? Because during his ceremon, he said
he said something like this that sounded
like he might support peace with Israel.
The the Iraqi prime minister immediately
shut down that um message, declaring
that Iraq will never make peace with
Israel and calling it an enemy.
The Knesset in Israel in Yerusha has
passed a vote on Wednesday to set up a
group that will investigate the October
7th massacre. Instead of using the
Supreme Court to pick the investors the
investigators, this new plan lets
politicians choose who is on the panel.
The vote was very tense with 53 me 53
members in favor and 48 against while
family members of the victims watched
from the gallery. Some opposition
members even tore up copies of the bill
to show they do not agree with it. The
Israeli shekele is now at its strongest
level against the US dollar in four
years. The value of the shekele has gone
up by about 12% since the start of the
year. Experts say this is happening
because of heavy foreign investments and
sales of natural gas to other countries.
While a strong shekele shows the economy
is doing well, it creates problems for
Israeli businesses. When the shekele is
expensive, Israeli products cost more
for buyers in other countries, which
makes it much harder to sell goods
abroad. Okay. Israeli forces eliminated
a top Iranian terror commander in
Lebanon today in a joint operation by
the IDF and the Shimet. A drone strike,
a drone strike in the village of Nasria
took out Hussein Mahmud Mash Mid Al
Jawari. Al Jawadali was a senior leader
in unit 840 of the Iranian cuts force.
This is the secretive unit responsible
for planning and carrying out terror
attacks against Yeeden and Israeli
citizens, Israeli targets all over the
world, including in Syria and Lebanon.
Officials say he spent years smuggling
weapons and directing plots to kill
innocent people, children, women.
Unofficial reports from Lebanon say a
second terrorist was also killed in a
strike today identified as Majid Abd
alamir Kwan Kosh
Majid Abd almir whatever who cares.
The military says says sorry says this
assassination removes a central figure
who was actively working to harm yeen
across the world and of course Israeli
citizens and of course the state of
Israel. At least one person in Lebanon
is optimistic though given all the
circumstances right now in Lebanon which
is very tense because we all know the
deadline is nearing to an end less than
a week left. The deadline for the
ceasefire for Lebanon the Lebanese
government to disarm
but they haven't done so. So Israel is
threatening a full a full-scale war to
get that done. President Joseph
expressed optimism today. Obviously it's
it's Kaga today. So he expressed
optimism that diplomatic efforts will
prevent Israel from launching another
major military operation against
speaking in his day speech. Aun told the
public that constant talks have
successfully pushed back the spectre of
war. He stated that the threat of larger
conflict has re has receded from Lebanon
and that he believes matters are now
heading in a positive direction. Let's
hope Iran's top officials are delivering
two very different messages today.
Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi is warning
of a new conspiracy by the enemy. He
claims outside forces are deliberately
creating difficult economic conditions
to stir up public dissatisfaction and
destabilize the regime from within which
he's right about actually in a way.
Think about it right who doesn't want
the regime to fall apart. On the other
hand, speaking of the regime, the
supreme leader Ali Kamini issued a
spiritual message for the day for the
Christians. He praised Yoshka as a guide
to light and justice who saved humanity
from oppression, adding that Yoshka
never paused in his fight against evil.
A lesson he says is vital for both
Christians and Muslims. Interesting. If
he finds out that Yoska was a Jew, what
will he then say, huh? Anyway, Turkey is
making a major power move in Syria that
has Israeli defense officials on high
alert. Listen to this. We spoke about
Turkey the last two days. Remember this?
He's angry that Israel's made deals with
Greece and and Cyprus. According to a
report from the Jerusalem Post, Anara is
actively attempting to deploy advanced
radar systems on Syrian territory.
Israeli officials warned that this would
be a strategic nightmare for the IIAF,
the Israeli Air Force. These radars
would significantly rest significant
significantly,
sorry about my words, restrict Israelis
um Israel's ability to operate in Syrian
airspace like they did throughout the
12-day war. For those who remember, they
controlled the airspace essentially
making it much harder, if not
impossible, to launch strikes against
Iranian targets without being detected
or engaged. Basically, if these radars
go up, the open skies Israel has used to
keep Iran in check might suddenly get a
lot more crowded. Talks between Israel
and new Syrian government regarding a
security agreement have moved forward
significantly in the rec in the recent
weeks. A source close to Syrian
President Ahmed al-Sharat tells I24 News
that a deal could be signed very soon
and credits the breakthrough to the
direct involvement of President Donald
J. Trump. The source claims that the
agreement might be finalized during a
high level meeting in Europe. And they
aren't ruling out the possibility of a
historic face-to-face signing between
President Al-Shara and Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyao from Israel. But there
is there's still a major sticking point.
There's a catch. There's always a catch
to these things. the land, right? Syria,
almost similar to Ukraine and Russia,
right? Syria expects an agreement based
on the 1974 armistice agreement,
demanding that Israel with withdraw from
all points captured after the fall of
the Assad regime. Israel, however, is
drawing a hard line. Jerusalem has
publicly refused a full withdrawal.
Israeli forces say the IDF will only
fall will pull back from some of the
nine strategic points it currently holds
in exchange for a full peace treaty, not
just security arrangement.
Let's go. Let's turn our backs to uh
well, let's turn ourselves and fly to
America and the world, the rest of the
world. Yesterday, we brought you a the
full details of a massive ISIS plot. If
you want to go back and listen to it,
it's very interesting. It's mammish open
miracles, an ISIS uh Islamic State
terror plot that was stopped in
Manchester, England for our Jewish
brothers and sisters who live there. Two
Islamic terrorists were convicted for
planning a machine gun attack on the
Jewish community that would have been
the deadliest attack in British history.
This follows the speech we reported also
yesterday from the ISIS leader who
called for his followers to launch a
global war and attack Yidden and
Americans across the globe. Now, we have
a similar story from right here in the
United States. Police in Utah say they
stopped a 21-year-old man who was
planning a bombing attack on local
shooles.
Officers arrested Skyler Rose in the
city of uh in the city inside of Utah.
Don't see the name here. After finding
six working pipe bombs and several guns
in his home, the FBI sent a tip to the
local police after finding threats the
man made online. Bomb experts worked
through the night to take the explosives
away and destroy them safely. Skyler
Rose is now facing serious charges for
terrorism and having weapons of mass
destruction.
We spoke about Turkey before, right?
Turkeykey's security forces have
thwarted a major terror plot just in
time for their holidays. Authorities
announced today that they have arrested
115 suspects linked to the Islamic State
who are planning an attack on today's
Khaga Day and New Year celebrations
across the country. The arrests were
part of a massive coordinated operation
involving simultaneous raids on over 120
locations. Intelligence sources say the
sus the s suspects were preparing to
target churches, shulles, and crowded
public spaces during a festive season.
The festive season. This operation comes
amid heightened security across the
region following intelligence that ISIS
cells were looking to make a call for
action against non-Muslims during the
holidays. Breaking news out of Australia
where police are hunting for a suspect
after a targeted attack on a rabbi's
vehicle in Melbourne. Early this
morning, a car displaying a large happy
Khaneka sign was firebombed while parked
in a in the driveway in a Jewish
neighborhood of Satkilda East. Residents
of the home had to be evacuated at the
as the vehicle was being was engulfed in
flames. Thankfully, nobody was injured,
but the attack has sent shock waves
through the community. This incident
comes just 11 days after the horrific
mass shooting at Kaneka at a Kaneka
celebration in Bondai Beach where 15
Kadoshian were killed. Hashem Yin Dum
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called
today's firebombing evil and beyond
compre beyond comprehension police say
they have identified a person of
interest but so far no arrests have been
made at least what I know right now.
Security forces in Aleppo have carried
out a targeted operation against an ISIS
hideout, successfully dismantling a
terror cell.
Now, three members were arrested during
the raid where authorities seized a
cache of weapons, ammunition, and
materials, phones prepared for for the
attacks. This is part of a sudden and
intense crackdown across the country,
marking the fourth such operation in
Syria just the last 24 within Syria just
the last 24 hours. Let's talk about
international news. While he's getting
beaten by President Donald J. Trump and
the US military, Venezuelan dictator
Nicolas Maduru decided to take a break
from his from destroying his own country
to give us a brand new history lesson.
And quite frankly, I don't know what is
funnier about which one is funnier.
First, he claimed that Yoska Pandrich
was a Palestinian child
who was the first anti-imperialist
imperialist. When dictators like Madura
say they are anti-imperialists,
they are usually using a political
buzzword that means anti-American or
anti-Western. They point themselves as
the heroes fighting against the big bad
empire, usually the US or Europe, to
justify their own grip on power. Anyway,
speaking of he's saying Yoska is now a
Palestinian, just for the record, Yoska
Ponder was born a Jew in Judea, born in
Yehuda. The Romans didn't even rename
the didn't even rename the the region
Palestine until a century after he died
specifically to wipe out Jewish history.
So calling him Palestin Palestinian is
just funny. But then Maduru tried to
outdo himself. He actually claimed that
Spanish imperialism was responsible for
crucifying Yoshka. Here's a quick
timeline check for the dictator. The
Spanish Empire started in 1492. That is
a roughly 1500 years after Yoshka was
killed. The people who actually did the
execution obviously were the Romans. So
yeah, blaming the spam the Spanish
Empire for killing Yoshka is like
blaming Trump's tariffs causing the
Great Depression post World War I.
Okay, that's enough about that guy.
Let's talk about the next guy.
Conservative candidate Nasriito Asfura
won the presidential election in
Honduras on Wednesday after a long vote
count. President Donald J. Trump
publicly supported us before the
election and warned that the US might
stop giving money to Honduras if he
lost. Well, he won and his win is seen
as a major move to the right for the
country. US Secretary of State uh um of
state Marco Rubio also congratulated
Afura and said that the United States is
ready to work with his new government.
In same in similar news, Tariq Rahman,
the leader of Bangal of Bangladesh
national uh Bangladesh's national
nationalist party returned to Dhaka on
Thursday. this morning after living in
exile for 17 years where in England a
massive crowd of supporters filled the
streets to greet him as he as he arrived
from London. He is the son of former
prime minister and now he is the top
choice to win the elections coming up in
February. In his first speech back home,
Rahman told his supporters that he has a
plan to rebuild the country. He had been
he had been away since 2008 because of
criminal charges, but the courts
recently cleared him just in time for
the vote. Anyway, crime rates across the
United States have dropped sharply in
2025. New data shows murders fell by
20%. And robberies also saw a big
decline. Officials say this is because
of a major push to arrest and deport
criminals by Donald J. Trump. They say
keeping repeated repeat offenders off
the streets is why the numbers are
finally going down.
Let's talk about local news. In
California, Governor Governor Gavin
Nuome proclaimed a state of emergency on
Wednesday. yesterday for several
counties in California due to a series
of powerful winter storms. The emergency
orders covers Los Angeles, Orange
Riverside, and San Bernardino,
I think it's called, San Diego, and
Shasta counties. Now, a series of
atmospheric rivers is bringing heavy
rain and strong winds that have already
caused flooding and mud flows. It is
expected to be it is expected to be the
most powerful winter storm in years with
heavy rain continuing throughout the
day. Thousands of people especially such
a day of the thousands of people in Los
Angeles are already without electricity
and several major roads have been closed
because of the weather. Emergency
officials especially worried about the
mudslides in areas that were recently
burned by wildfires. If you remember the
stories, terrible. The state has
pre-eployed 55 fire engines and 10
swiftwater rescue teams and hundreds of
personal personnel, I would say, to help
local communities. In New York, a winter
storm is heading for the tri-state area
just in time for Shabas. Snow will start
falling this Friday between 3 and 6:00
p.m. Air of Shabas Kesh becoming steady
or in Shabas is becoming steady and
heavy after 6 p.m. Forecasters say we
might see a brief mix of sleet or rain
overnight, but it will turn back to snow
to all snow by early Shabas morning. As
for the totals, Lakewood is looking at 3
to 6 in. New York City will see 4 to 8
in and Mony and Curious oil areas are
expected the heaviest accumulation with
5 to 10 in of snow. Let's talk about
financials. The Dow Jones and industrial
average and the S&P 500 both hit an
all-time high today. Yesterday actually
during the short day of trading before
the kaga the Dow rose about 289 points
to finish at 48,731
and the S&P 500 gained 22 points to end
at 6,932.
The Nasdaq also went up gaining about 51
points for the day. Investors were
