Since the early months of the war in Gaza, Israeli forces have occupied a four-mile road, known as the Netzarim corridor, that bisects the enclave, to keep hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans from returning north. That has slowly grown into an 18-square-mile block of territory controlled by Israeli forces, according to the Israeli military and a New York Times analysis of satellite images and video footage. The buildup suggests a shift for Israel, which had largely avoided holding Gazan territory, creating a vacuum that has allowed Hamas to reassert control in some parts of Gaza. Israelis leaders have vowed to maintain security control in Gaza even after the war, without saying clearly what that might entail. Israeli military analysts say the increase in infrastructure along the Netzarim corridor might serve that purpose.

A rainbow skirt she designed in 2017 was the start of her personal and business reawakening. Courtesy of Olivia RubinIn 2015, a year after my daughter was born, I was still wearing black, but there was this one outfit I wore — I dressed up the black with brilliant red lipstick and red boots. I started wearing color againAfter that rainbow skirt, I found myself again. I started wearing color again and helping others do the same. If I hadn't been through it, I might not have had the idea to create a rainbow skirt, and none of this would have ever happened.

China is closely monitoring the effects of Western sanctions on Russia in order to prepare for a possible invasion of Taiwan, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Alexander Gabuev, the director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, told the Journal that Russia is serving as a "sandbox" for China for how sanctions operate and how they should handle them. AdvertisementEven so, Russia's economy has been heavily impacted by the ongoing conflict and the Western sanctions imposed on it. Advertisement"Essentially, the experience of the last three years substantially reduced the fear of large authoritarian states with respect to Western sanctions, and this is very concerning," he said, adding that China-Russia economic cooperation would make any future Western sanctions against China less effective.

CNN —A crowd crush at a football match in Guinea has caused multiple casualties, the country’s prime minister has confirmed, with one social media video showing fans scrambling to get out of a packed stadium. “The government deplores the incidents that marred the football match between the Labé and Nzérékoré teams this afternoon in Nzérékoré,” Prime Minister Bah Oury said in a statement. Video geolocated by CNN showed fans scaling a wall as they tried to flee the stadium in Nzérékoré in southeastern Guinea. Doumbouya, who seized power in a 2021 coup and has installed himself as president, is eyeing a potential presidential run in elections expected to be held in 2025. Doumbouya is one of several figures who have seized power in the volatile region since 2020.

Dollar faces crunch week for U.S. rates, yen holds gains
  + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The risk of an early hike was enough to keep the dollar pinned at 149.60 yen , having shed 3.3% last week in its worst run since July. The euro held at $1.0555, after bouncing 1.5% last week and away from a one-year trough of $1.0425. That left the dollar index flat at 105.790, having closed out November with a gain of 1.8% even after last week's setback. "But the bar for a further shift in expected interest rates in favor of the U.S. in the near term is quite high," he added. Political uncertainty is another drag for the single currency as investors wait to see if France's government can survive the week intact.

Wall Street's fickle pendulum when it comes to the Federal Reserve has swung more decisively toward expectations for a December rate cut. It's going to depend on the inflation data. However, he noted that if inflation data continues to show signs of "stalling," he will "be supportive of holding the policy rate constant." The Fed currently targets its benchmark overnight borrowing rate in a range between 4.5% and 4.75%. That follows cuts in September and November that took the fed funds rate down by three-quarters of a percentage point altogether.

CNN —Days of protests have rocked Georgia following the government’s controversial decision to delay the former Soviet country’s bid to join the European Union. Tensions intensified in late October when Georgian Dream claimed victory in a contested election that was widely seen as a referendum on joining the EU. Opposition TV channel Formula showed people in the central town of Khashuri throwing eggs at the local Georgian Dream office and tearing down the party’s flag. Georgian Dream, founded by a billionaire who made his fortune in Russia, has taken a sharp authoritarian turn in recent years. Experts have warned the suspension of EU talks is another sign the country is going down an undemocratic path under Georgian Dream.

China bonds rallied Monday with the 10-year yield dropping below the key psychological level of 2% to hit a multi-decade low, amid expectations that Beijing could expand its stimulus measures to shore up the economy. Yields on China's 10-year government bond, which move inversely to prices, fell to 1.9636% on Monday, data from LSEG showed, marking its lowest level in 22 years. 30-year bond yields dropped to 2.164%. "The resistance for further downside [on bond yields] may increase due to higher government bond issuance and upcoming major meetings," OCBC's Xie noted. China's 10-year yield remains far lower than the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield of over 4%.

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved budget plans, raising 2025 military spending to record levels as Moscow seeks to prevail in the war in Ukraine. Lawmakers in both houses of the Russian parliament, the State Duma and Federation Council, had already approved the plans in the past 10 days. Their visit comes as doubts are deepening over what Kyiv can expect from a new U.S. administration led by Donald Trump. Moscow sent 78 drones into Ukraine overnight into Sunday, Ukrainian officials said. In Russia, a child was killed in a Ukrainian drone attack in the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, according to regional Gov.

TikTok is defending itself in federal court over legislation President Joe Biden signed in April that would ban TikTok if it doesn’t sell itself to an American owner by the time Trump takes office. Most Trump allies who oppose TikTok have cited claims of Chinese government influence over American users, which TikTok denies. They have both publicly criticized the legislation that would force a sale of TikTok or lead to a U.S. ban. “Don’t be fooled — the TikTok ban is not about China harvesting your data.

“The Syrian army will once again be victorious over these terrorist groups as in the past,” he added. In his first public comments released by the state news agency Saturday evening, Assad said Syria will continue to "defend its stability and territorial integrity against terrorists and their supporters." Iran’s support for Assad mirrors that of Russia, which helped to turn the tide of the war during 2016's battle for Aleppo between Syrian government forces and rebel fighters. The victory helped Assad to secure Assad's hold on strategic areas of Syria, with opposition factions and their foreign backers controlling areas on the periphery. The U.S., for its part, opposes Assad, opposes Russia, and opposes Iran, but has allied itself with Syrian Kurdish forces despite their fight against U.S.’ NATO allies Turkey.

The decision to issue a blanket pardon for his son Hunter will forever be a part of the president’s legacy. For Biden, family has long come above nearly everything. After Beau Biden died of a glioblastoma brain tumor in 2015, the elder Biden’s bond with Hunter strengthened beyond words. It was not one reached, like so many Biden judgments, after long and tedious discussions with his circle of advisers. This was a far more of a family decision, where his role as a father – the only title he will keep for life – came above all else.

BUCHAREST, Romania Associated Press —Romanians cast ballots Sunday in a parliamentary election sandwiched between a two-round presidential race, the first of which has plunged the European Union and NATO member into unprecedented turmoil following allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference. By 5 p.m., about 7.5 million people – about 42% of eligible voters – had cast ballots, according to the Central Election Bureau. Cristian Andrei, a political consultant based in Bucharest, predicted the general election could also be reshaped by Georgescu’s success, with far-right parties possibly obtaining record highs. “The impact of the surprise in last Sunday’s presidential election will be significant, and we are going to wake up in a new political reality,” he told The Associated Press. Some have predicted that the far-right nationalist S.O.S Romania party, and the little-known Party of Young People, which has backed Georgescu, could pass the threshold.
