Israel’s largest offensive in Gaza to date is underway, and the world is watching.
But what most people don’t see is just how deeply the United States is involved, on both sides of the fight.
Very few media outlets are talking about this, but they should be — urgently.
While most of the world is distracted, U.S. troops are conducting live training exercises in Syria with the forces of the country’s new interim government, now led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a man widely known as a former Al Qaeda affiliate.
Let that sink in.
Recent reports confirm that U.S. personnel at the Al-Tanf garrison have been training members of the so-called 70th Division, a unit formed from remnants of the Syrian Free Army, which now pledges loyalty to this new government. This comes right on the heels of a massacre of Druze civilians, allegedly carried out by those very same government-aligned forces.
Aiding the Next Generation of Jihadists?
This isn’t just a questionable policy — it could be morally catastrophic.
Druze communities, who have long sought neutrality in Syria’s civil war, were brutally attacked.

Debunked: Following several accusations that Israel is causing famine in Gaza, COGAT has released drone footage of the hundreds of truckloads of supplies waiting to be delivered to Gaza by the UN. A statement accompanying the footage claims that 'There is enough food here to feed all of Gaza, if the UN ever came to pick it up.

In the mountainous city of Vanadzor, Armenia, a stunning sunset masks the turbulent reality facing this small, ancient nation. Last week in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump hosted Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for talks aimed at ending one of the world’s longest-running conflicts.
Despite the headline-grabbing announcement, no true peace treaty was signed. Instead, three separate agreements emerged from the summit symbolic steps toward peace, but far from a resolution.
Dissolving an Ineffective Peace Body
Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to withdraw from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) framework that was originally designed to mediate between the two nations. Over time, it became largely ineffective, failing to prevent repeated clashes.
U.S.–Armenia Infrastructure Pact
Armenia and the United States signed an agreement to jointly develop a transport route across southern Armenia, connecting Azerbaijan to its isolated Nakhchivan exclave. This 29-mile corridor could eventually include a highway, railway, and oil pipeline, granting Baku direct access to Turkey and Western energy markets.
Framework for Future Negotiations
Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a memorandum to begin discussions on a potential peace deal. However, Azerbaijan’s demands—such as constitutional changes in Armenia remain politically sensitive and highly unlikely in the near term.
Azerbaijan has long sought a direct route between its mainland and Nakhchivan. For Baku, the corridor promises a strategic energy export path to the West, bypassing Russian and Iranian routes. For Armenia, the project is divisive. Some see it as an economic opportunity to benefit from transit fees and potential normalization with Azerbaijan and Turkey. Others view it as a dangerous concession to a hostile neighbor.
Critics point out that the agreement fails to address two pressing humanitarian issues:
The displacement of over 150,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023, following a swift Azerbaijani offensive.
The continued detention of around 80 Armenian hostages in Azerbaijani prisons, despite international concern.

Israel is now on the verge of fully seizing Gaza City, the symbolic, political, and logistical heart of Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled a decisive move toward total military occupation of the city, with an estimated one million Palestinians still inside. This marks a critical turning point in the 22-month war against Hamas.
