The U.S. presidential election revealed a scandal involving the Democratic Party, which controls media, social networks, technology, the deep state, finance, and the arms industry, along with their think tanks and intellectual elites. One of their latest schemes was creating misleading polls favoring their candidate Kamala Harris, hoping voters would join the perceived frontrunner. However, the public saw through this tactic, and the Democrats ultimately lost. While globalization against “America First” held little appeal, Trump’s campaign resonated with those hurt by stagnant industries, declining agriculture, and sluggish trade. Trump successfully extended his reach, bridging divides even within the demographics traditionally aligned with the Democrats. His message found supporters among Latinos, African Americans, and Arab and Muslim Americans, who were outraged by the Democrats’ disregard for Palestinian and Lebanese lives. Despite Trump’s perceived alliance with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Arab Americans, many of whom were barred by the Democratic Party from expressing their views, saw Trump as a vehicle for ending the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

The Arab-American communities punished the Democratic Party for its criminal record in Gaza and Lebanon, with some members even voting for Trump. In a contest where swing states decide the outcome, losing even a few thousand votes could tilt the balance. Trump’s victory secured him both the presidency and the Republican majority in Congress.
Regarding the future of Middle Eastern conflicts, a Trump advisor stated that the president-elect’s priority before officially assuming office in late January is to end the Gaza and Lebanon wars and work on a new nuclear deal with Iran. Meanwhile, Trump received a congratulatory call from Netanyahu, who holds high hopes for even more U.S. support, despite the exhaustive backing provided by the Biden-Harris administration.

In Lebanon, resistance operations continue with notable achievements, as reported by the Resistance’s Joint Operations Command. The statement detailed successes on the ground, with resistance fighters pushing occupation forces beyond the border after heroic battles in Aita al-Shaab and Khiam. The statement highlighted the achievements of missile forces and drones, with yesterday marking a significant strike on southern Tel Aviv, where two million settlers sought refuge in shelters twice, and the Avivim settlement burned under missile fire. Questions are intensifying within the entity about the war’s purpose amid a widening political and public rift following Netanyahu’s dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The situation has further deteriorated with an ongoing police investigation into security leaks, a pending Knesset vote to exempt the Haredim from military service, and the Chief of Staff’s declaration of readiness to resume the stalled ground operation.

Against this backdrop, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem spoke during the commemoration of the fortieth day for the martyred Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Former President Emile Lahoud, Free Patriotic Movement leader Gebran Bassil, and Marada Movement leader Sleiman Frangieh also paid their respects. In a recorded message, Qassem reviewed the political and military landscape, emphasizing that indirect negotiations led by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri as a political extension of the resistance hold the potential to end the war, provided two conditions are met: halting the aggression and respecting Lebanese sovereignty. He affirmed the resistance’s readiness to continue along the path of confrontation, following the legacy of Sayyed Nasrallah, until victory is achieved.
