Reported Israeli air strikes kill 8 pro-Iranian fighters in rural Damascus and Quneitra
The London-based Syrian opposition group reported on Wednesday that eight pro-Iranian foreign militiamen and Hizballah members were killed in two Israeli air strikes Tuesday overnight on Jabal al-Mani south of Damascus and Ruweihina village on the Syrian Golan border with Israel. The first targeted weapons and missile depots serving the Iranians and Hizballah; the second, a group called the Syrian resistance for the Liberation of the Golan at a post of the Syrian army’s 90th Brigade. While there was no confirmation by either side of what was struck, according to military defectors who were quoted by Reuters, the target in Jabal Mane was a military base belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Israel: UN Security Council must demand Iranian ouster from Syria
The United Nations Security Council must demand Iran’s ouster from Syria and condemn attacks by its proxies against Israel from that neighboring territory, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan said. “Israel calls upon the Security Council to condemn these recurring dangerous acts, and demands a total rollback of Iran and its proxies from Syria and the removal of Iranian military infrastructure from Syrian territory,” Erdan wrote in a letter he sent to UNSC President and St. Vincent and Grenadines Ambassador Inga Rhonda King. Erdan wrote his letter after several improvised explosive devices (IED) were discovered in Israeli territory on its border with Syria in the Golan Height on November 17. Israel immediately retaliated by striking Iranian and Syrian military targets in Syria to thwart additional attacks, he wrote. The placement of those devices, Erdan wrote, was a “direct violation of the Disengagement Agreement (1974).”

Kurdish and Turkey-backed fighters clash in Syria, 11 killed
Large Turkish military convoy enters northwestern Syria
Clashes between Kurdish fighters and Turkey-backed opposition gunmen in northern Syria left at least 11 fighters dead in some of the most intense fighting in weeks between the two sides, an opposition war monitor and a Kurdish spokesman said Tuesday. The Monday night clashes near the town of Ein Issa were triggered by an attack by Turkey-backed gunmen on SDF positions, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor. The Observatory said Turkey-backed fighters lost 11 gunmen in the battle and an unknown number of SDF fighters were also killed or wounded. An SDF spokesman who goes by the name of Mervan Qamishlo confirmed the clashes, saying that the group’s fighters were repelling a Turkey-backed attack. He did not comment on how many SDF gunmen were killed. A spokesman for the Turkey-backed fighters did not respond to requests for comment.

In threat to Iran, US sends heavy bombers to Middle East via Israel
The United States this week rapidly deployed several heavy bombers to the Middle East this week in an apparent threat to Iran, amid swirling speculation that US President Donald Trump plans to take military action against Tehran before President-elect Joe Biden enters office. US Central Command said the planes were sent into the region “to deter aggression and reassure US partners and allies.” In a highly irregular move, the B-52H Stratofortress planes were seen flying toward Israeli airspace on Saturday en route to the base where they will be stationed, likely in Qatar. The aircraft were spotted on civilian tracking software approaching Israel before they apparently turned off their transponders, rendering them invisible on those applications. The US has previously deployed B-52 bombers to the region during periods of heightened tensions. This occurred in early 2020 after the US killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike in Iraq. The strategic aircraft were also sent to the region in May 2019, when Iran allegedly attacked a number of US allies in the Persian Gulf and shot down an American spy drone that flew near its airspace.

Two explosions in central Afghanistan kill 14 people, wound 45 – officials
At least 14 people have been killed and dozens more injured after twin blasts in the central Afghan province of Bamiyan on Tuesday afternoon, provincial officials said. The explosives were hidden at the side of a road in a main bazaar in Bamiyan city and claimed the lives of 12 civilians and two traffic policemen, while wounding 45 other people, Reuters quoted Zabardast Safai, the police chief of the province, as saying. The people who sustained injuries in the attack were mostly in a nearby restaurant and shops at the time of the blasts, according to Safai. A spokesperson at the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs, Tariq Arian, confirmed the bombing, saying that explosives had been detonated in front of the Insaf Market in the bazaar area in Bamiyan, “killing a traffic officer along with 13 civilians.”

Ethiopia: Tigray people ‘ready to die’ as leader rejects call to surrender
Both sides claim gains in Ethiopia war, Tigrayans accused of massacre
War to escalate as Tigray separatists reject Ethiopian PM’s ultimatum
Ethiopian leader rejects international ‘interference’ in war
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government said enemy soldiers were surrendering as it advanced towards the regional capital, but the Tigrayans reported they were resisting and had destroyed a prestigious army division. The leader of Ethiopia’s dissident Tigray region has said his people are “ready to die” defending their homeland, rejecting the prime minister’s Sunday night ultimatum that they surrender within 72 hours. Brig Gen Tesfaye Ayalew was quoted by the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate as saying federal troops were “marching into Mekelle”, having captured key towns to the north and south. The army has threatened a “no mercy” tank assault on the TPLF leadership in Mekelle, warning civilians to leave while they can. The threat has prompted widespread concern, with human rights campaigners saying it could breach international legal codes.

Thai protesters call on king to give up royal fortune
Thai Opposition Outmaneuvers Gov’t by Changing Location of Mass Protests in Bangkok
Thousands of Thai protesters called on King Maha Vajiralongkorn on Wednesday to cede control of a royal fortune valued in the tens of billions of dollars, the latest in months of demonstrations focused squarely on the monarchy. The protesters have broken a longstanding taboo by criticising the king, and police summoned many of the best-known protest leaders on Tuesday on charges of insulting the monarchy, which can mean up to 15 years in prison. Protesters demonstrated outside the headquarters of the Siam Commercial Bank, Thailand’s biggest bank, in which the king’s 23% stake worth over $2.3 billion makes him the largest shareholder. “The people demand back national assets from the king,” read one protest banner. Police put the number of protesters at 8,000.

Big Banks Are Cautiously Adopting Blockchain and Digital Currency
Monetizing Privacy with Central Bank Digital Currencies
IMF outlines legal issues for central bank digital currencies
Blockchain-based technologies are being adopted at a feverish pace in gaming, healthcare and even by governments throughout the world. Big banks have been less enthusiastic to embrace the new technology, but are beginning to do so – at a very slow pace. In prior research, we documented evidence suggesting that digital payment adoptions have accelerated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While digitalization of payment activity improves data utilization by firms, it can also infringe upon consumers’ right to privacy. Drawing from a recent paper, this blog post explains how payment data acquired by firms impacts market structure and consumer welfare. Then, we discuss the implications of introducing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that offers consumers a low-cost, privacy-preserving electronic means of payment—essentially, digital cash.
