Israel Conducts Widespread Strikes Near Beirut — OODAloop
The Israeli military late on Sunday conducted a heavy barrage of airstrikes on the southern outskirts of Beirut as negotiators inch toward a cease-fire deal. The airstrikes followed a series of sweeping evacuation warnings by the Israeli military for the area. Analysts said that Israel’s ramped up attacks in recent days were intended to pressure Hezbollah into accepting a cease-fire on favorable terms. Hezbollah, however, has shown few signs of backing down, and both sides have pledged to keep up their attacks while negotiations are taking place. The terms for a cease-fire appear to be taking shape, according to several regional and U.S. officials briefed on the diplomacy.

Donald Trump’s Interesting Pick for Treasury Secretary
Give Donald Trump credit for this: he can turn practically anything into a reality show, including picking a Treasury Secretary. He spent many years working for Soros Fund Management, the investment firm owned by the Democratic mega-donor George Soros. And, if he makes it through Senate confirmation, he would be the first openly gay Treasury Secretary. When I interviewed Bessent in June, he strongly criticized the Biden Administration’s spending and regulatory policies, and defended Trump’s economic agenda. According to numerous accounts, Lutnick, who is a co-chair of Trump’s transition, was one of the actors who tried to block Bessent’s appointment to the Treasury Department.

Trump’s determination to install controversial picks faces next test
Gabbard and another contentious Trump pick — Pete Hegseth, who has been tapped to lead the Defense Department — came under sharpened scrutiny Sunday as the spotlight shifted from Matt Gaetz, Trump’s toppled choice to be attorney general. Trump’s pick of Hegseth is also facing uncertainty after the release last week of a 2017 police report detailing an alleged sexual assault in California. But the withdrawal of Gaetz — who was already widely disliked in Congress — may leave senators feeling they owe the president-elect on his other highly controversial choices. Trump’s new selection for attorney general, Pam Bondi, is meanwhile being welcomed by many Republicans, suggesting she’ll have an easier path to confirmation than Gaetz. But that would still leave the question of who is acceptable to Trump while being confirmable in the Senate.

Europe’s Gas Prices Surge to Year-Highs Amid Supply Risks, Rising Demand
The energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 left Europe’s gas market highly sensitive to disruptions. Benchmark Dutch TTF gas futures trade nearly 17% higher on the month in European afternoon trade on Friday, after rising to more than 48 euros a megawatt hour in recent days. Still, some European countries such as Austria and Slovakia continue to receive Russian gas via the Sudzha interconnection point on the border with Ukraine—one of only two routes for Russian gas exports to Europe. Goldman Sachs raised its TTF forecast for next year to 40 euros a megawatt hour from 34 euros a megawatt hour previously, citing a colder-than-average start to the winter and LNG project delays. Prices are then estimated to fall to 36 euros and 24 euros a megawatt hour in 2026 and 2027, respectively, according to the bank.
