What’s Netanyahu’s endgame in Syria? Marc Lamont Hill discusses it with author and columnist Gideon Levy. Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Israel has conducted air strikes across Syria and seized territory in the Golan Heights in violation of a 50-year ceasefire. And as Israel continues its genocide in Gaza and maintains its occupation of the West Bank, Israel’s attacks on Syria raise questions about its regional strategies. So what’s Netanyahu’s endgame in Syria? Will Israel interfere with Syria’s transitional government and further expand its territory? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to author and columnist Gideon Levy.

David Des Roches, a professor at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, said Israel’s military strategy in Gaza remains uncertain as the execution of the war “blends into a political strategy”, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unable to articulate because of the fractious nature of his coalition’s government. The military goal is to prevent Hamas or any other organisation from being able to launch an attack from Gaza on Israel again and, at the same time, try to avoid Israel assuming the “burden” of being the occupying power in the Palestinian territory, Des Roches said.

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the vulnerabilities of global supply chains. More than ever before, trade routes are being disrupted by geopolitical tensions, climate change and technological advancements. That's forcing governments and companies to rethink how goods and services flow across borders. Nations across the world are re-evaluating everything from supply chain dependencies to trade partners, based on economic and national security concerns. As a result, protectionism is on the rise. Regional trade blocs are emerging. Production facilities are being moved closer to home. Digital and sustainable solutions are increasingly being adopted. So, how will this reshape global trade?

The Israeli army has carried out a wave of air strikes on what it says are Houthi military targets. Yemeni officials say at least nine people were killed. The strikes hit the capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeidah, causing major fires. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthis say they fired two ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv. Israel says it hit one of them, but the debris damaged a school in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv. It's the second time this week the Israeli military has intercepted a missile from Yemen. Journalist Mohammed al-Attab has more on those air strikes from Yemen's capital, Sanaa and Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh has more on the Israeli reaction from Amman, Jordan because Israel has banned Al Jazeera from operating inside Israel and the occupied West Bank

The Israeli military has launched air strikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. The strikes hit the capital, Sanaa, the port city of Hodeidah and an oil facility in the west. Israel says it was targeting military assets. US-led forces have also struck the country with airstrikes since the start of the year. Hours earlier, Israel intercepted a missile launched from Yemen. A school in Tel Aviv was hit by debris from intercepting that missile. It's the second time this week that Israel's military has intercepted a missile from Yemen. Houthi Forces have been launching drones and strikes in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Hussain Albukhaiti, a pro-Houthi journalist and political analyst, says the Yemeni armed group will keep attacking Israel until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.

After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, mass grave sites continue to be uncovered in Syria, including one near the Sayyeda Zainab Shrine, a revered site for Shia Muslims south of Damascus. The area, reportedly controlled by Iranian-backed fighters, was used to conceal decomposing bodies in facilities such as a former medicine warehouse. Civil defence teams have recovered 20 unidentified bodies in various states of decay and are conducting DNA tests to help families achieve closure. The site highlights the atrocities committed under Assad’s regime, with international estimates indicating up to 150,000 people remain missing. Once a propaganda tool for sectarian militias, the shrine is now being protected as a symbol of unity under the new administration.

The first domestic flight since the fall of the Assad regime has taken off from the Syrian capital, Damascus. It is heading to Aleppo - which was the first city to fall over two weeks ago. The airport had been shut down for security reasons. The resumption of internal flights marks an important milestone as the country starts to rebuild after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Meanwhile, Jordan has announced that it will re-open its northern border crossing with Syria to truck traffic. The crossing was closed earlier this month shortly before Bashar al-Assad was removed from power. Jordan says the flow of goods and freight traffic between the two countries will now resume. Syria has cancelled all fees and stamps previously required to enter.
