Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Secretary-General/trip announcement Secretary-General/Yemen Financing for development Syria United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon Lebanon Occupied Palestinian Territory Iraq Haiti Somalia Latin America and the Caribbean Food price index Aviation Day SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT The Secretary-General will be heading to South Africa and Lesotho next week. On Wednesday, he will be in South Africa, where he will meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa and other senior South African government officials. Discussions will focus on global and regional issues, but especially on South Africa’s G20 Presidency and its leadership on financing for development. The Secretary-General will underscore that with South Africa taking the G20 helm and being the first African country to preside over the G20, there is a significant opportunity for the G20 to help advance Africa’s priorities. On Thursday, the Secretary-General will proceed to neighbouring Lesotho where he will meet with the King of Lesotho, Letsie III, the Prime Minister and other officials. The Secretary-General will seize this opportunity of this visit to show solidarity with the African continent, that has been a victim of global injustices that are denying African nations their rightful place on the world’s stage. The visit to Lesotho is symbolic as it is a small land-locked country that has suffered the dramatic impacts of climate change, which will cost African economies billions of dollars every year. While there, he is scheduled to address the Parliament as Lesotho celebrates the bicentenary of the founding of the Basotho nation, a moment the Secretary-General is honoured to share with the people of Lesotho. The history of this country is rich, and its location in the heart of southern Africa and commitment to sustainable development puts it in a unique position. Prior to departing Lesotho, the Secretary-General will visit the Katse Dam which is central to the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and to water management in the broader region. SECRETARY-GENERAL/YEMEN In a statement issued today, the Secretary-General renewed his call for the immediate and unconditional release of the humanitarian personnel arbitrarily detained by the Houthis in Yemen. It has been six months since the detention of more than 50 personnel from the United Nations, international and national non-governmental organizations, from civil society, and diplomatic missions, in addition to the four other UN personnel detained in 2021 and 2023. The Secretary-General acknowledged the recent release of one UN staff member and two NGO personnel recently but recalled that the continued arbitrary detention of dozens of others is unacceptable and constitutes a violation of international law. These detentions threaten the safety of humanitarian personnel and significantly impair efforts to assist millions of people in need. These actions are inconsistent with genuine engagement in peace efforts. The United Nations, NGOs and other relevant international partners are working through all possible channels and authorities to secure the immediate release of those arbitrarily detained. FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT Also today, the Secretary-General is appointing a group of prominent experts to promote actionable policy solutions and galvanize political and public support required to resolve the debt crisis. This work will inform the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), which is an intergovernmental process facilitated by the UN, which will take place from 30 June to 3 July, in Sevilla, Spain next year. The developing world is currently facing an unprecedented debt crisis, with dozens of countries struggling under the weight of debt service that threatens economic stability, social progress, and sustainable development. And yet, to date, the global response has fallen short. The group will be led by Mr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, the UN Special Envoy on Financing for the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and co-chaired by Mr. Paolo Gentiloni, the former European Commissioner for Economy, Mr. Trevor Manuel, the former Minister of Finance of South Africa, and Ms. Yan Wang, a Senior Academic Researcher at the Boston University Global Development Policy Center. That has been shared with you electronically as we speak. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=06%20December%202024

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the downfall of Bashar al-Assard in Syria an “historic day" for the Middle East and vowed to "take action against possible threats" in the country. Israel’s military has moved reinforcements to the occupied Golan Heights - which it captured from Syria in 1967. Netanyahu has announced his forces would temporarily seize the so-called buffer zone between the two countries which has existed since 1974. He posted on X that the collapse of the Assad regime "offers great opportunity", but caveats that it is also "fraught with significant dangers". The IDF also warned residents in five villages in southern Syria to stay in their homes because Israel would not hesitate to act if it felt it needed to.

Syrian rebel forces in Damascus have declared the capital city "free" of Bashar al-Assad after nearly 25 years of rule, as the former ruler is said to have left by plane for an unknown destination. The initial offensive to defeat Assad's regime was led by the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) - which was set up in 2012 under a different name, al-Nusra Front, and pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda the following year. HTS publicly broke ranks with al-Qaeda in 2016, but is still designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN, US, Turkey and other countries. The US has named the group's leader, Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani, as a specially designated global terrorist and offered a $10m reward for information that leads to his capture. Jawlani told CNN on Friday that "the goal of the revolution remains the overthrow of this regime" and that he planned to create a government based on institutions and a "council chosen by the people".

Syrian rebel forces have captured Damascus, marking a pivotal moment in the country’s 13-year civil war. The rebels have declared Damascus “free” of President Bashar al-Assad, with government forces reportedly withdrawing. After a large-scale offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied groups, rebels captured Aleppo and advanced south to the capital. Earlier, rebels appeared on state-owned TV and radio, declaring victory and announcing the end of Assad’s rule. In Damascus and other major cities, Syrians have taken to the streets to celebrate, marking what they hope is the beginning of a new chapter. Footage shared on social media appears to show inmates being freed from Saydnaya prison, where Assad’s opponents were long tortured and executed. In a statement posted on Facebook, Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi al-Jalali has expressed his willingness to ‘cooperate’ with leadership chosen by the people. Syrian opposition fighters stormed the presidential palace in the capitol after the fall of the government. Russia’s foreign ministry confirmed Assad has left the country, and provided orders for a peaceful transfer of power. #syria #damascus #syrianrebels Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
