The prime minister says the UK is not considering whether to unban the organisation that has taken power of Syria despite cabinet minister Pat McFadden suggesting the decision could be swift.
During a visit to Saudi Arabia, Sir Keir Starmer says there is "no decision pending at all" on whether to remove Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the list of proscribed terrorist organisations, adding it is "far too early".

Fierce clashes continue in northern Syria between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed groups, resulting in around 40 deaths. Despite U.S. efforts to ease tensions, Turkey views the YPG as a PKK-linked terrorist group. The conflict has worsened with foreign militants like HTS involved, and Turkey threatens further action.

The year 2024 was marked by several pivotal global events. Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency shocked the political landscape, following a fiercely contested election where Kamala Harris, despite Biden's endorsement, failed to secure a victory. In Syria, years of civil war culminated in the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, as rebel forces led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, supported by Turkish-backed groups, successfully overthrew his regime. Meanwhile, the world was shaken by multiple deadly plane crashes, including the tragic crashes in Kazakhstan and Jeju Air, which claimed over 200 lives. These events, alongside ongoing conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war and Modi's re-election in India, have defined a tumultuous year that has left lasting impacts on geopolitics and human lives.

On December 26, 2024, violent clashes broke out in Syria between remnants of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants in the Tartous governorate. The violence escalated after 14 HTS militants were killed in an ambush, attributed to former government loyalists. Amid ongoing unrest, protests erupted across Syria, particularly by the Alawite and Christian communities, following incidents like the desecration of an Alawite shrine and the burning of a Christmas tree. The HTS-led authorities imposed curfews in response, and sectarian tensions continued to rise.

An overnight curfew was imposed by Syria’s ruling Hayat Tahrir al-Sham rebel group after 14 members of the Syria’s interior ministry were killed in what they described as an ambush by supporters of ousted President Bashar al-Assad.

A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured. The attack was attributed to loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. It occurred during an operation to apprehend a former officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison. Three loyalists also lost their lives in the clash. This comes weeks after rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Assad, ending decades of family rule. HTS promised to protect minorities but faces global designation as a terrorist group. Tensions continue to rise across the country.

Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East. The Nagel Commission report emphasizes that this could become an even greater risk to Israel than the ongoing concerns with Iran. Israel’s defense strategy is shifting, with recommendations to boost offensive military capabilities and allocate a larger defense budget. This evolving situation reflects broader regional instability, exacerbated by Turkey’s involvement and recent developments in Syria.

Lebanon’s political stalemate has ended with the election of Army Chief Joseph Aoun as president, after 13 failed attempts and over a year without a leader. Aoun’s election comes during a delicate ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following devastating clashes that left Lebanon reeling. Backed by international powers like the US and Saudi Arabia, Aoun’s presidency is seen as a potential turning point for the country’s fractured politics and strained international relations.Hezbollah’s role in the election has raised questions about its future influence, especially as the group has been weakened by the recent conflict with Israel. Aoun, viewed as a reformist leader, faces monumental challenges, including rebuilding Lebanon’s shattered economy, navigating the fragile peace with Israel, and maintaining national unity amid deep political divisions.

Severe flooding has hit Saudi Arabia, particularly in Mecca, Jeddah, and Madinah, after record-breaking rainfall caused widespread destruction. Torrential downpours have turned streets into rivers, submerging cars, flooding highways, and causing major disruptions. The Saudi Meteorological Department issued a red alert for these cities as water levels reached dangerous heights. Footage from the affected regions shows scenes of cars almost completely submerged, with only the tops of their roofs visible above the water. In Jeddah, a city already prone to flooding, residents were seen abandoning their vehicles and scrambling to safety as water inundated streets. Similar scenes were recorded in Mecca, including the holy city's streets, which have become impassable.
