The question of what should happen to the terrorists who committed the October 7 massacre remains at large. Now, after the release of the final living hostages, it will finally begin to be answered.
The last living hostages are home. Many have already left the hospital. The images of their reunions with loved ones are still fresh in the nation’s mind. A sense of relief is still palpable.
Lake Chad Basin’s military bases in ISWAP’s crosshairs
Remote and poorly resourced outposts are soft targets for attacks, and a weak point in regional counter-terrorism efforts.
At least 15 confirmed Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacks have targeted military outposts across the Lake Chad region this year. Common to this campaign, which the group calls Camp Holocaust, is that the targets were isolated, under-resourced, and often in border zones where state presence is lacking.
Russia might still fund some less ambitious infrastructure projects in its Far East-Arctic region to keep the economy hot after the war ends, help veterans find work, and encourage settlement there.
La vaste campagne de sécurité menée par le Hamas pour éliminer les gangs armés qui ont collaboré avec l’armée israélienne pendant la guerre s’intensifie. «Nos opérations les élimineront tous, sans exception», a déclaré une source sécuritaire du Hamas à Mondoweiss.
À présent, la vidéo est devenue virale. Des hommes armés masqués affiliés au Hamas dans le camp de réfugiés de Nuseirat, au centre de Gaza, alignent un groupe d’hommes aux mains liées tandis que des spectateurs se rassemblent autour d’eux.

On October 11, 2025, Afghan Taliban’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was given a grand reception by the students and teachers of Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband in the town of Deoband, about 180 kilometers from New Delhi. Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband is the largest Islamic seminary in the world after Cairo’s Al-Azhar University and is considered the spiritual fountainhead of the extreme religious teachings espoused by the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan.[1] Muttaqi arrived in New Delhi for a six-day visit on October 9-15, which is seen as reviving India’s presence in Afghanistan.
As usual, Tehran will make surface-level concessions and play for time. But it will never commit to genuine counter-terrorism regulation.
Excerpt
The Islamic Republic of Iran is touting its decision to conditionally ratify the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) as a diplomatic breakthrough and a signal that Tehran is finally ready to cooperate with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). In doing so, it may regain access to the global financial system. The move is nothing of the sort, and no one should buy it.
Hamas, in short, has decided to eliminate any Palestinian opposed to terrorism and supportive of coexistence with Israel.
Hamas’s actions also demonstrate that the terror group is determined to exploit the current ceasefire to reassert its control over the Gaza Strip.
The issue of centralization and decentralization in Syria is a structural issue that goes beyond intellectual debate to touch the essence of state reconstruction, defining the features of national identity and the form of governance. Centralization, although considered by some to be a guarantee of the unity of the country, experience has shown that it has deepened marginalization and weakened political participation. On the other hand, many political components view decentralization as a gateway to comprehensive institutional reform, but accelerating its adoption may threaten stability and sovereignty, especially in light of the complexities of the Syrian reality.
