Yesterday, the Fact-Finding Committee’s report on the massacres in Syria's coastal region, was due for submission to the president’s office. The July 10 deadline was based on the three-month extension granted on April 10. Maybe the report was handed in. We wouldn’t know because

It's time to flesh out my basecase scenario #1 ("Unstable equilibrium") on what I believe the #Iran-#Israel conflict most likely looks like in the short-to-medium term. This includes an Israeli campaign between wars with covert attacks that could very well look like this👇 1/24

🔴 As the PKK disarmament ceremony was underway in Sulaimani province, Turkish bombardment struck areas in Duhok province, igniting a fire near Barchi village. Local firefighters were called in to contain the blaze.

The symbolism of this ceremony is as powerful as it gets. Reactions on Kurdish social media are quite emotional and sentimental, mainly spurred by the powerful imagery. Some are critical of the move, while others hope it will lead to something better. I personally think the

Key takeaways from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Erdogan's speech today, and yes, he did say important things. Sadly everything i live tweeted somehow disappeared. So here goes again. 📌 The overarching theme was that Turkey's glory, meshed with Islam, will increase multifold when allied with

24 hours after 30 PKK guerrillas burned their weapons in a symbolic act to underscore the PKK’s sincere commitment to the de facto ‘resolution/peace process’ (which the Turkish state calls the ‘terror-free Turkey process’), Erdoğan delivered a lengthy speech at the AKP congress.

I wouldn't be surprised if reports that Russia backs zero enrichment are confirmed. This the price Iran pays for strategic loneliness and the Islamic Republic's weakness. Russia has repeatedly shown it is neither a reliable partner nor friendly country. axios.com/2025/07/12/put…

Turkish President Erdogan’s imperial ambitions are clearly on display here. Much of what he says isn’t new—he and his associates have been espousing these neo-Ottoman ideas for at least a couple of decades. But in the current regional context, hearing him invoke Jerusalem

My comments yesterday praised Syria’s impressive strides, not a threat to Lebanon. I observed the reality that Syria is moving at light speed to seize the historic opportunity presented by President Donald J. Trump’s lifting of sanctions: investment from Türkiye and the Gulf, diplomatic outreach to

In Syria’s Sweida, a fragile peace between Druze and Bedouin communities is unraveling, fueled by mistrust, vendettas and a dangerous security vacuum, writes Cian Ward for New Lines Magazine. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/in-s…

A wide-scale military campaign is underway in Suwayda. The nature of the offensive, its targets, and its language leave little doubt: it is explicitly sectarian. Convoys of armed extremists are storming the region, openly threatening the whole Druze community with doomsday

The Sunni tribal mobilization against the Druze in Syria should be a cause for grave concern. A sad reality is that the tribal ethos of warfare is, unfortunately, not far removed from the jihadi one. We saw this in Iraq, where Sunni tribes joined Da'esh in raids on minority
