The #DamascusDossier investigation is now live. The exposé includes new details of former Syrian president Bashar Assad's vast system for the detention, torture and murder of Syrian citizens — and the international forces that financed his regime. icij.org/investigations…

Whenever I see someone posting about future prosperity in Syria it seems almost always about construction, and towers, and tourism. Hardly ever any spotlights on factories, production, improving agricultural methods, or micro loans to encourage artisan work.

Exclusive: The military of former Syrian dictator Bashar Assad trucked thousands of bodies from a known mass grave to a secret site deep in Syria’s desert, @Reuters found. The clandestine operation took place four days a week for nearly two years reut.rs/43kwmMh

The Trump administration's decision to end TPS for Syria is not only deeply humane, but is also at odds with US interests for a successful transition in Syria. @TimepDC weighs in on why ⬇️

Mariam Dagga, our freelancer who was killed today by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, had bylined this powerful piece on malnourished children in Gaza just last week apnews.com/article/palest…

What is there to say anymore? Approximately 15 minutes after bombing Nasser Hospital, the genocidal regime bombs it again, live on air, killing the rescue workers and reporters who'd gone to the location.

He asked the world to protect him with the hashtag protect Anas AlSharif and two weeks later Israel targeted and murdered him.

Anas al-Sharif was buried in Gaza City today along with his colleagues. His older brother, Ahmed, wept over his body. Israel brags about killing him--they know no one will hold them to account. "Silence or death" is how Anas characterized Israel's threats. He refused to be silent

Anas Al Sharif was born in 1996. He was 4 when the Second Intifada began in 2000. He was 11 when Israel imposed the blockade on Gaza in 2007. He was 12 during Cast Lead in 2008–2009. He was 18 during the 2014 assault on Gaza. He was 29 when Israel assassinated him in 2025.

"من غزة إلى الجنة" يا أنس

For months, Israel has openly threatened Anas with murder. What did his peers and colleagues around the world do to protect him? What did the most prominent, best paid, most comfortable journalists around the world do to protect the best of them?

Observations from yesterday's National Dialogue conference in Damascus: -General consensus was that it was rushed: attendees invited 1-2 days earlier, some facilitators were invited only 7 hrs earlier -Many openly criticised lack of transparency in selection process

بعنوان "حنعمرها" فتاة فلسطينية تنشر اللحظات الأولى للبدء في إزالة الركام و الدمار في #غزة بعد انتهاء الحرب

A million Palestinians returning to their destroyed homes and towns in the north of #Gaza this morning is the crystal clear response to those who still plot to uproot us from our homeland. There is only one direction of travel ahead of the Palestinian people after a 100 years of forced displacement and oppression: liberation and return!
