I just came across a post talking about this and I haven't seen it anywhere else. Anyone wanna talk about it? It seems big. There seem to be really many protests right now in Serbia.

On 1 December, a silent march was held in Novi Sad to commemorate one month since the collapse. By early December, Serbian students had begun organizing 24-hour blockades at some school campuses. By mid-December, more than 50 university campuses and multiple secondary schools had suspended classes due to student protests. On 11 December, students demonstrated at the headquarters of television station RTS, for their broadcasting of President Aleksandar Vučić's claims that demonstrators are being funded by Western countries who seek to destabilize Serbia. On 13 December, farmers in central Serbia blocked a road with tractors. As of December, protesters continue to gather in large numbers, demanding justice for the victims of the collapse and greater transparency in governance. Police presence in the city has been significantly increased, and there have been sporadic clashes reported. Efforts at dialogue between protest leaders and government officials have so far failed to de-escalate the situation.[citation needed]

The Israeli occupation forces acknowledged their use of live ammunition against protesters in southern Syria, claiming the action targeted what they described as a "threat."

According to an IOF statement, one protester sustained a gunshot wound to the leg in the village of Maaria.

The incident unfolded during a demonstration against the Israeli military presence and its encroachment on agricultural lands in the area.

It is worth noting that the IOF recently occupied two villages in the Yarmouk Basin region of Daraa province in southern Syria. These actions are part of what appears to be an ongoing expansion of Israeli-occupied territories in Syria, particularly since the emergence of new regime forces in the country.

The suspect in the deadly ramming at a Christmas market in Germany on Friday was an anti-Islam activist who shared pro-Israel content on social media in the wake of the October 7 attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported.

According to the Journal report, the suspect, a Saudi national who had moved to Germany in 2006, ran a website and social media channels warning against Islam and discussing women’s rights, as well as posting content in support of Israel.

He also showed support for Germany’s far-right anti-immigration AfD party, the report said.

On the decision by the Government of Sweden to stop funding UNRWA in 2025 | UNRWA (2024-12-20)

[https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/decision-government-sweden-stop-funding-unrwa-2025] ------

"The decision by the Government of #Sweden to stop funding #UNRWA in 2025 is disappointing and comes at the worst time for Palestine Refugees.

"The decision is one day after the members of the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution in support of UNRWA. Sweden has been a reliable longstanding partner to UNRWA providing both political and financial support for decades.

"This is a sad day for Palestine Refugees and the multilateral system which Sweden has spearheaded..."
