This week Hezbollah rockets targeted Israel's Trump Heights settlement, a remote community in the central Golan Heights - which was taken from Syria after the Six Day War of 1967.
Iranian state media as well as a report in Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen indicated that Hezbollah specifically targeted Trump Height the day after he won the Tuesday US presidential election.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has issued a formal congratulations to Donald Trump for his victory in the US presidential election, following some rare positive remarks also made by Russia's Vladmir Putin.
Lukashenko signaled his support and openness to seeking the end of the Ukraine war by favorable negotiated settlement. "If he [ends the war], we’ll petition for the Nobel Prize. He’ll be rewarded for doing a good deed," Lukashenko was quoted as saying in state-run Belta.
A strong indicator of what a second Trump presidency's approach to the Middle East will be has been seen in the appointment of Brian Hook, who was special envoy for Iran in the first Trump administration. Hook is expected to receive a high level national security post this time around, and he previously led the 'maximum pressure' campaign against the Islamic Republic.
