Friday Briefing: Israel’s plans in Syria

Plus, the biggest job in fashion
Morning Briefing: Europe Edition

December 13, 2024

Good morning. We're covering the latest in Syria and pardons from President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump.

Plus: British pubs are scrambling for Guinness.

Israeli troops will remain in seized Syrian territory

As the allies and adversaries of Syria reckon with how to respond to its change of government, Israel said that its military would stay in seized Syrian territory until "a new force" was established that met Israeli security demands. Here's the latest.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said that the sudden collapse of the Assad regime in Syria had created a vacuum on the border with Israel, and that it "will not permit jihadi groups to fill that vacuum and threaten Israeli communities." The deployment would be temporary, he said, but he did not give any clear timeline for the soldiers' departure.

The Israeli military has mostly deployed in a 155-square-mile zone that was intended to be a demilitarized area monitored by U.N. peacekeepers. But soldiers have also taken up positions deeper inside Syrian territory, according to Israeli officials. Any deal between Israel and the Islamist rebels who led the offensive in Syria appears distant, given their mutual animosity.

  • The fall of Syria's government has reinvigorated a long push for justice over crimes committed by the previous regime, but there is frustration that former President Bashar al-Assad may not stand trial.

Hopes rise for a truce in Gaza

After months of stalled negotiations, cease-fire talks for the Gaza Strip are picking up steam.

The White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, met yesterday with Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, and his top security and policy chiefs. Sullivan said afterward that his goal was to be able to close a deal between Israel and Hamas for a cease-fire in Gaza and for the release of hostages held there "this month."

But analysts — and Sullivan himself — cautioned that a deal was not yet sealed. Over the past year, repeated rounds of talks have seen hopes rise only to be dashed days later, with Israel and Hamas blaming each other for the impasse.

A rush of presidential pardons

President Biden said that he was commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoning 39 people convicted of nonviolent crimes in a sweeping act of clemency during his final weeks in office. The number of commutations was the highest by a president in a single day, the White House said.

In an interview with Time magazine, which named him as its person of the year for the second time, President-elect Donald Trump promised to start pardoning nonviolent participants in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol during the "first hour" he returns to office.

It's the most wonderful time of year — unless your customers want a pint of Guinness. Distributors have reportedly been allocating less of the stout than usual to prepare for the seasonal surge in demand, leaving British pubs scrambling.

"To be honest, I thought it might have been a P.R. thing," Tommy McGuinness, the manager of The Marquis, a pub in London, said of the rumors that taps were running dry. "Turns out, it's real."

The hottest job in fashion

After six months without an artistic director, Chanel, the second largest luxury fashion brand in the world, has named a new designer: Matthieu Blazy, formerly of Bottega Veneta.

Blazy will be in charge of all fashion, couture and accessories for Chanel, creating 10 collections a year. He will make his debut next October during the Paris shows.

The appointment represents the biggest change in what has been the most disruptive year in fashion in decades, with seven other fashion houses naming new designers. Read more about him.
