The Middle East teeters on the edge of a wider conflict as Israeli officials signal a measured response to a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which claimed 12 lives.
While Israel holds Hezbollah responsible for the attack, the Iranian-backed Lebanese group has denied any involvement.
The strike, which occurred on Saturday, has escalated fears of a broader war, though both sides seem keen to avoid such an outcome.
US President-elect Donald Trump shared a controversial video on Truth Social, featuring economist Jeffrey Sachs, who criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for manipulating US foreign policy. Sachs accused Netanyahu of pursuing a strategy since 1995 to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah, which he claims led to endless wars. The post comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts for a truce and Trumpâs own threats regarding hostages held in Gaza. Trump had previously supported Netanyahu during his presidency, including recognizing Israelâs sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019.

Tensions are escalating as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intensifies his stance on the Golan Heights, provoking Syrian militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) have refused to pull back from the strategically critical "buffer zone" inside the Syrian Golan Heights, despite growing international pressure. This decision, signaling Israelâs firm grip on the region, has raised fears of a new Israeli-Syrian conflict. With Syriaâs new administration committed to challenging Israeli presence, the region stands on the brink of a larger confrontation. As Israel fortifies its hold over the Golan, the fate of Syriaâs fractured leadership hangs in the balance.

IDF Reserve Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi credited President-elect Donald Trumpâs stern warning as a pivotal factor in securing the Israel-Hamas cease-fire after a 15-month conflict.

Avivi also acknowledged Israelâs strategic victories over Hezbollah and Syriaâs weakened stance as contributing factors. The agreement, brokered with Trumpâs team, is set to take effect just before his inauguration.
