April 2, 2025, Middle East News Briefing!
① The Yemeni Houthi armed group displayed the wreckage of the US MQ-9 drone shot down in the Marib province on the night of March 31. It seems that it ultimately fell into the Houthi-controlled area.
② Turkish media reported that Turkey plans to deploy air defense systems in Syria and may consider deploying S-400 in Syria. This can not only strengthen control over Syria but also find excuses to persuade the Americans to lift the freeze on F-35.
③ The Israeli government announced that in order to avoid being subject to additional tariffs by the Trump administration of the United States, Israel decided to exempt all American goods from customs duties.
Of course, this matter is mainly for political performance. According to the free trade agreement signed between the United States and Israel in 1985, both sides have already exempted 98% of goods from customs duties.
