▶️ Crisis in the Middle East for May 16
Video summary by project leader @rybar Mikhail Zvinchuk especially for @SolovievLive

Former US special envoy to Syria confirmed Washington's cooperation with HTS leader Juliani. Although the group is formally considered terrorist, the US is in dialogue with them and considers HTS "the least bad option" in Idlib. This demonstrates the US approach: if radicals are willing to submit - they can be worked with.

The Israeli army carries out raids in the Burkin area of the West Bank following an attack on an Israeli family. A pregnant woman died, her husband was wounded, and the newborn is in critical condition. Arrests and searches are taking place in Salfit and neighboring villages. Israeli settlers have also become more active, burning cars and attacking Palestinians.

The Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Ben-Gurion Airport - the target was intercepted. In response, Israel attacked ports on the Yemeni coast, causing destruction and injuries. "Ansarallah has not yet responded, but escalation is likely. All this is happening against the backdrop of Trump's visit to the region, which is currently silent. The situation in the Red Sea region remains unstable despite the ceasefire declared earlier.

More details on these and other events in the Middle East in the new video briefing.
