🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾🇱🇧🇱🇧 - The combination of the Israeli war on Lebanon and the HTS takeover of Syria is the beginning of the end for traditional Palestinian nationalist militant groups outside of Syria. These groups were all backed by the Assad regime and have lost all their power after the HTS takeover, leaving them powerless in face of the Lebanese army.
Independent Syrian jihadists and even the HTS administration do not possess the same power the Assad regime had over Lebanon to control these Syrian-backed Palestinian groups in the refugee camps.
However, what will happen to Hezbollah-backed Al Qassam and Saraya al Quds? What about the Palestinian jihadi factions like Fatah al-Islam? What about Lebanese and Syrian Sunni jihadi factions? Will Joseph Aoun become president, strengthening the military in the face of Hezbollah and all other factions? Time will tell.
It's important to note that the Lebanese Islamic Group (Muslim Brotherhood) has backed both Hezbollah in its war against Israel as well as the Syrian rebels against the Assad regime. HTS and Lebanese Sunni prime minister Mikati (an anti-Christian force, infamously spreading the lie that Christians are 19% of the country) joining forces is also extremely dangerous for Christians. We are dealing with wild cards.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. And while money initially moved into stocks in the morning, capital moved out of safe-haven assets. The price of the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday, sending its yield up to 2% from a March closing low of 1.73%. DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later.
