Joseph Daher explains why celebrating Israel's assassination Hezbollah's Nasrallah is short sighted when it comes to Syrians’ struggle against Assad's regime.

There's no doubt Hassan Nasrallah's assassination by Israel has weakened Hezbollah. Joseph Daher explains why this is not the end for them.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia are gradually warming to Assad's Syria through a limited process of normalisation. But these ties remain fragile, says Joseph Daher.

Western states supporting Israel as it wages catastrophic deadly attacks on Gaza are perpetuating the narrative that the oppressor has rights over the oppressed to ‘defence’. It is Palestinians who have the right to resist, argues Joseph Daher.

Currency devaluation and inflation have triggered a devastating cost of living crisis. Already struggling to make ends meet, many Syrians feel they have no choice but to leave, writes Joseph Daher.

As MENA states invest more into developing their tourism sector through lavish construction & entertainment projects that seek to bolster profit, local populations impacted by continued economic crises are increasingly shut out, writes Joseph Daher.

Taking advantage of festering divisions within Kurdistan and the weakening of the KRG government, Iraq's central government has seized its opportunity to take back control over Kurdistan's most valuable resource, writes Joseph Daher.

Lebanon’s central bank governor Riad Salameh has long been protected by the country’s political elite, but the international allegations he faces, including embezzlement, could provide an opportunity for justice & accountability, argues Joseph Daher.

Syria's return to the Arab League is part of a regional effort to consolidate authoritarianism. For Saudi Arabia, rehabilitating Damascus is part of a new foreign policy aimed at stability and economic prosperity, writes Joseph Daher.

The opposition coalition may prove victorious in taking down Erdogan's authoritarian regime. But to have a genuine democracy, entrenched Turkish nationalism and racism towards Kurds must be addressed, writes Joseph Daher.
